If I have it right, he drew his biggest line in the sand. Putting everything he's said about the rail strike together, he was pretty clear.
If the government forced the workers back to work and if it came to a confidence vote, he would pull his support and vote against the government.
The workers were forced back to work. Now we need a party to put it to a confidence vote. Maybe the Block, maybe the Cons or NDP.
Will he do it? Maybe. His pension comes due in Feb 25, I think. So he could pull the pin during the fall sitting and still get his pension.
I believe this is a line he can't back away from without losing union support.
We'll see what he does when Parliament resumes.
