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.

No it isn't easy to make that argument, because to do so, you'd have to ignore the very real fact that the people that voted in the last election were not voting for a combined Liberal/NDP/Bloq party. You can not use the numbers from any previous election to imply anything about this coup.
Just because it doesn't fit with your particular brand of spin, doesn't make my argument incorrect. In fact, my argument is the only one that actually takes reality into account. You're just adding up numbers that have absolutely no relevant value whatsoever.
