The problem with majority governments is that they can abuse their power. The problem with minority governments is that they have to cooperate with others to function effectively. The Libs got turfed for abusing their power. It would be poetic if the Conservatives got turfed for failing to play nice with others.
I'm not saying that's the best thing for Canada at this moment, but it's not dirty pool if it's in the rules.
