Sorry, I wouldn't have thought that it was "seriously" up for discussion that this was a coup d'etat because clearly it is not and it is technically legal and all that. What is up for discussion is whether or not the majority of people believe that the coalition has the moral authority to govern. I'm not even sure that Dion has the moral authority to govern his own party, let alone Canada.
I also don't think that this will be perceived well internationally and expect the C$ to take a hit.
