A split in the parliamentary caucus into two parties could happen quickly. It actually happened once before, during the Stockwell Day/Joe Clark era.

If they do split, I'd be curious to see how many from the Liberal Party would defect to the old PC's.

Depending on how messy the "truckers" thing gets. It could cause some discomfort for some MPs.
