The Liberal fire ship.

Liberal ship was taking so much water in that it seemed impossible to keep it afloat much longer. Abandoning it was was not so much of an option as a matter of timing. Question was what to do next as the Liberals felt trapped between Conservatives firmly entrenched on right end of political spectrum continuously expanding into the centre and New Democrats advancing from left and of political spectrum taking away voters and potential political donors. Saving the Liberal ship would not have saved political body of water where it could possibly sail even if it were in a good repair. There was only one way out of that bind and that was to secretly convert Liberal ship into a fire ship and use it to destroy NDP ship and kill their captain. It was the only thing that Liberal ship was still good for and that made the decision so much easier.

After secret conversion Liberal fire ship was anchored in an open harbour badly listing to one side, flag of distress was was raised and Captain Dion bravely stood on the bridge shouting commands, some old blind and hobbling sailors moved around pretending that they were still able to raise the sails and man the cannons. Other two ships decided to plunder it under a pretext that they were joining it to form a flotilla and attack Conservative Man of War. They were in for a very nasty surprise. As they boarded fire ship under the pretext of signing some kind of a treaty Conservative Man of War approached fired its canons and set Liberal fire ship ablaze. It was only then that the captains of the other two ships come to realise what kind of a trap they got themselves into.

As the crew of Liberal ship float about in their row boats they rejoice watching unfolding scene of mayhem and destruction.

Who said that it is only Captain Harper who is the master strategist??
