Ottawa (CP)
With a new court case beginning to block the proposed merger between the Candian Alliance party and the Progressive Conservatives, former Conservative leadership hopefull David Orchard announced today that if the case was unsuccesful, he would be "taking [his] ball and going home."
Characterizing Alliance leader Stephen Harper as "a big meanie," Orchard made the announcement at an Ottawa area schoolyard. "We had a deal," continued Orchard. "I double dog dare Peter Mackay to live up to his bargain."
Critics were initially shocked by the bold "double dog dare," but the latest ratcheting up of rhetoric came as no surprise to Mackay. "Orchard was just upset that he got picked last for every team," explained Mackay. "If he wants to take his ball and go home, let him. We'll find another one."
Mackay further criticized Orchard's ball as being "nearly flat anyway." Orchard is expected to respond in kind.
