Right but isn't a Liberal-NDP coalition and even weaker minority?
If the Bloc doesn't officially sign on I don't see how this is any different.
If there were only 3 parties and the 2 parties added up to make a majority (like the Quebec before the election on Dec 8) then it would make sense to me.
How can 110ish seats rule parilament and represent us internationally/
