That very same constitutional law legitimizes Jean's decision today. So by your own argument, you should be supporting her.

The events of today disenfranchised the MPs of the House of Commons, and by extension disenfranchised the citizens of Canada.

The people represented by over 140 ridings were disenfranchised by the axis of evil. I'm sorry that your side's dirty politics was defeated by my side's dirty politics. That's life.
Now comes the real test for the leaders of this coup: Can they actually remain united for two months? We're about to find out whether Dion and his puppetmasters can actually live up to their bravado.
Canada won today, because for the next two months, we have stability at a time when it is needed most. And two months from now, Jean will know for certain whether allowing the coalition or calling an election represents the better direction.
Assuming there is still a coalition in place, of course.
