Could it be a sign of a truce?

Denis Coderre, the recently resigned Quebec lieutenant to Michael Ignatieff, has posted a Facebook status update that could be viewed as an olive branch.

Or at very least, a sign someone from the Liberal office has told him to start acting nice.

Says Coderre's Facebook status (my translation):

"Denis Coderre: hopes many Liberals how up at the Liberal meeting on Sunday in Quebec City. My resignation should be interpreted as an incapacity to do my work as lieutenant and that's all. There has never been a problem in Quebec or with Quebec. I've always had confidence in Michael Ignatieff and I'm happy he that he says what happens in Quebec will be dealt with by him in Quebec "
