Just because someone voted for a party, does not mean they'd support their party getting into bed with one they strongly oppose.

I absolutely agree. I'm just pointing out that the raw votes are there to support this coalition. If this plan goes through and Canadians truly don't like it, we will have the opportunity to vote again in 30 months and express their displeasure to these parties.

As stated above, I was just pointing out that, based on the voting numbers of the past election, it's a pretty easy argument to make that: combined, the Bloc, NDP, and Liberals recieved the most votes, therefore a Bloc, NDP, Liberal coalition would have a mandate to govern.
