Maybe it's a failing in our education system... Do high schools still teach Canadian history and civics?

Don't be flippant.
I know damned well how our system works. I didn't say the coalition was illegal, I said, "combing the percentages wasn't allowed within the context of the current conversation I was having, because Canadians weren't asked to vote on a Liberal/Socialist/Separatist Coalition."
I'm not having this discussion again. If you need to get caught up, flip back 20 pages or so. There's plenty of posts to read already about this.
