Wasyl Wysoczanskyj at democraticSPACE asks:
La Presse (newspaper in Montreal) has questioned if deal between Dion and May not to run opposing candidates in each others’ ridings is only part of deal for strategic voting across the country. Does anyone have suggestion of that in their riding?
It would be interesting if there were such informal cooperation. The only announced case of cooperation, as noted in the quoted post, is the non-compete agreement the leaders’ districts (neither of which is likely to be competitive, anyway). Moreover, it was with allegations of a common front that the Conservatives tried to keep the Green leader out of the debates.

Sorry, this soil has been over-planted.
Idealistic Pragmatist, an pro-NDP blogger, has some interesting thoughts on this theme. It’s from April, 2007, but I had missed it till now (when she linked it at one her own posts this week).

Didn’t another famous Canadian go to jail over non-compete agreements he signed..?
