You'd be hard-pressed to find a majority government in the past 20 years that has accomplished more.

Yes, they did get quite a bit accomplished most of it at the beginning of the term. As of late however, the opposition cleary did not want to pass any legislation if possible and did their hardest by using their majority in committees to stall the legislation.
What I find funny is that Dion is blasting Harper over calling an election (which I believe he should have done differently) yet tells the Canadian people that this is the most important election in our life times. Well, if it is that important than shouldn't Harper have called the election?
