You can't be a National Party if you don't run 308 candidates

There have been numerous reports that Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has concluded a non-aggression pact with Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. Dion, it has been reported, will break with tradition and history and tell Liberals in Central Nova that he doesn't want their support or $1.75 per vote, that it is more important for him to make nice with the Green Party.

To quote the Halifax Herald, to do so, you'd have to be off your rocker. My friend, Prairie Fire developed a 308 seat strategy to try to run a credible race against the Conservatives everywhere across the country. An "almost-national party", with a "307 seat strategy" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Hopefully, smarter heads will prevail...

UPDATE: As Paul Wells points out, apparently they didn't.
