This constitues a failure for the sitting government to survive. That means, back to the polls. With minority governments looking more likely in the future, its essential that the GG gets this right.
Skirting democracy because of electoral costs is no excuse. If we have to have yearly elections, so be it. I think it may be time to rethink our system though, and I don't just mean the electoral system.

I was thinking something similar. If this mess plunges us into a full blown constitutional crisis, it could end up serving us well. I'd love to see the west vote to withdraw from the constitution. Wouldn't that cause some drama?
Ultimately though, I think that the GG will allow the coalition, for a myriad of reasons that could include anything from the belief that cerebrus could form a stable government to the desire not to go back to the polls so soon to her liberal and Quebec separatist roots. Just pick whatever reason(s) fit best your opinion of her.
