CTV (Conservative TV) is airing a story that leaks excerpts from yesterday's NDP caucus conference call in which Layton speaks of having had a deal in place with the BQ for several weeks. It seems that a Tory dialled in to the conference call and recorded the conversation.
CTV is spinning this as something that will cause the Liberals to drop the deal and former Liberal president Stephen LeDrew (who hasn't actually had any influence in the Liberal Party for years) appeared on CTV Newsnet as a Liberal "advisor" and argued that there will be no coalition now.
