Ya he did start it, then backed down when the opposition...opposed. Isn't that exactly how a minority government is supposed to work?
So he's backed down from his stupid idea (yes, it was stupid) and has promised that the budget will address our country's economic situation...but the NDP/Liberals still want to go ahead with the coalition?
For what reason? Harper's backed down.
...no, seriously. For what reason should they continue trying to steal power 6 weeks after an election?

The way this is coming together, it would appear that stealing power was the plan all along. The leaked transcripts make it sound like this was being planned even before anything came out from the conservatives. The liberals obviously had no plans to compromise, and instead found a way to take the power they feel they are entitled to.
Personally, I think that the liberals owed it to voters to at least try to make the elected government work before they got to this stage, but clearly they aren't really concerned with what the voters want.
