By necessary implication

Let's leave aside whether or not Michael Ignatieff should be doing more to promote the concept of inter-party cooperation, and take a look at John Ibbitson's remarkable leap of logic on Ignatieff's actual strategy.

Apparently, it's now an indisputable fact (or at least enough of a media narrative to dominate coverage) that if two leaders are touring separate parts of the country in support of their own parties, then they must be in cahoots.

Which can only mean one thing: come election time, every single party leader in Canada will be in a coalition with one another. That is, except for the one who chooses to stay home rather than bothering to campaign - which is why Ibbitson's take is apparently good news for the Work Less Party.
