Now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. I wasn't trying to imply that a Liberal/NDP/Bloc coalition is the actual choice of Canadians, merely pointing out that, using the voting numbers from the last election, it's pretty easy to make the argument that those three parties combined have the support of the majority of Canadians.

Your numbers arguments on the other hand are based on pure conjecture and seemingly willfull obtuseness.

The Conservatives have a minority government because a minority of Canadians voted for them. They have a larger minority than anyone else, but it's still a minority.

If they can't make it work, and the other parties can, then the three oposition parties have, under the laws of Canada, the legal right to do so.
