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.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part of the definition of democracy that stated if you were a liberal you didn't have to follow the voters decision. Voters chose to give the Conservatives a minority government. Liberals didn't like it and decided to jump ahead. If 'in a democracy' the liberals get power no matter who we vote for, why do we vote?
