I think it's entirely possible that this coalition was viewed by its member parties as being inevitable, and that they merely needed a window of opportunity to jump through. That window opened when Harper made some rather controversial proposals, including one which was a naked slap in the face to the other parties.
I think, at the very least, Harper's proposal to cut political funding was incredibly badly thought-out, and deserved an extremely harsh response. I didn't think this snowball had that much momentum though.

And yet none of them mentioned in during their campaigns. Interesting. So then are you supporting them having blatantly lied to voters during the campaign?
