I disagree. I don't think another minority government would result in more damage to the economy.
Besides, if Harper failed to win a majority on his third kick at the cat, I believe he would step down as leader of the Conservatives, and I suspect that the eventual new leader would be McKay who would be much more palletable to a lot more Canadians.

After that, we'd have a showdown between Ignatief and McKay and your guess is as good as mine at to who would win that one.
