I had initially thought Ignatieff might change that, but unless he makes a move against this coalition, he's as bad as the rest of them.

On the flip side, I refuse to trust the Conservatives with a majority government. It really has to do with the Reform party more than anything. Looking back, how many different former Reform MPs can we see that have been quoted with racist remarks, or radical right wing social ideologies? Even recently, you hear the same garbage coming from a certain Calgary MP.
A minority is good because they can be kept in check and you would assume that they would negotiate with other parties (as we've learned, they didn't in their first major confidence vote until after they were threatened with losing their power).
