Mackay tips his hand?

There are an increasing number of people calling for Stephen Harper to resign. We all know about the four Quebec candidates (people of little consequence given the party's standing in La Belle Province), but today the vice-chair of the Tories' Toronto council joined in on the choir. This is obviously something that has to be taken a little more seriously. Interestingly, this happened to be ran on the Globe's website:

Deputy Leader Peter MacKay shrugged off the criticism and said it was not widely held.
“Unfortunately [my italics], this is a small group in the party,” Mr. MacKay said.

Now this could be one of those cases in which someone either misspoke or was misquoted, but when one just takes a look at that they've got to think that perhaps Peter Mackay is waiting not-so-patiently in the wings for the putsch against Harper. I've got to say that it's borderline incomprehensible to me that the Tories aren't vastly ahead in the polls, but due to Harper's mismanagement of the Adscam affair and his inability to definitively criticize the Chretien-esque practice of Martin appointing political buddies to plum political appointments, that is not the case. I guess maybe that makes it less incomprehensible to me. Either way, the knives are slowly but surely being sharpened for one Stephen Harper.

Lastly, I just found this on the Globe's discussion site on an article pertaining to the JTF2 killing people in Afghanistan.
