Unfortunately for Harper, he doesn't seem to have realized this, and kicked off his government as though he had total power. I'm sure he didn't anticipate these consequences, but that doesn't mean they couldn't or shouldn't have been anticipated, or that they're in any way undemocratic.
Yep, he overplayed his hand and has since backed off. Do you really think that deserves such extreme measures only 6 weeks after he won an election?

IMO, running a little willy nilly and getting called on it does not deserve something so extreme. It deserves a kick in the ass to act appropriately going forwards.
