We will be $300million poorer and in the exact same position. So then we will need to have an election. And then we will be $300M poorer and in the exact some position. So then....
Somebody is going to have to work with somebody to give us a working federal government. The Conservatives first step was to antagonize the entire opposition and thus indicated that they are not willing to work with any other parties. So somebody else is going to have to try.

In reality, so long as the coalition demonstrates with a detailed plan how they intend to govern while maintaining the confidence of the house then the GG is required to accept that. It has nothing to do with her being from Quebec. Please people, can we be just a little more sophisticated than that?

Quebec does NOT run this country. It's that simple, and any "votes" that the CPCs loose in Little France will be more than made up for in the rest of the country.
If there is an election, there will be a majority. This will piss off even the apathetic fools and get them off their asses to show up. There will be a majority, and the only people who think otherwise are Socialist/Separatist supporters.
