Through out this entire thing, the Bloc have demonstrated themselves as being the most level headed, cooperative and mature party in Ottawa. They understand how to represent their interests and to work with other parties to get those interests enacted.
The Liberals have 77 seats.
The Conservatives have 143 seats. No where in those numbers do I see the horror of a "NDP/Bloc dominated government".
Honestly, I'd like to see Canada have more parties and learn to embrace multidimensional politics. I know this is basically blasphemy to most Conservative doctrine (absolute power is the only way to morally lead), but it's the easiest way to govern such a diverse country. Assuming we can make the intellectual and moral jump to the maturity level needed.

I will take a wild guess that math was not your strong subject in school.
Or maybe you don't grasp the idea of a coalition. It is calling for all three opposition parties to work together, which is 163 seats.....
It will not work with any two of them and because the NDP and Libs are pretty much the same cloth.... the Bloq really holds the control.
One more guess..... You are one of the 200 some people who signed this
