No, I was talking about a majority in Canada where the PM has absolute power. By my measure, a minority government is chock full of checks and balances, but you apparently don't like the deals necessary to make this work - unless its in the US I suppose where deals happen between Cabinet/Senate and Congress. I guess it's the deals between Liberals and NDP that's offensive, not the deals themselves??

Again this is easily countered with an effective Senate...one that has to answer to somebody. (IE; constituents)

Also, I've mentioned this before, but if Alberta is really so crazy about an elected Senate why isn't there one provincially?

From what i understand...they (Alberta) aren't allowed to make the Senate elected.
But I agree, it would be a great first step.

Kind of similar to how we do nothing but whine about blind voting patterns in Ontario but consistently Alberta is the most predictable province in the entire country.

You're right. Alberta should just vote Liberal and be done with it. That way no minority governments (something you say you adore) could be formed, and the PM PM could ram through absolutely anything he wanted to.
