Well I wouldn't say they're protecting the interests of all Canadians by trying to topple the government. I would just say that they're acting as a competitive power seeking party traditionally acts. And having many competitive power seeking parties is the sign of a democratic system.
Whether toppling the government is in our interest is up the air as you would have to define what our interest was. If our interest is in having a system that allows elections every 18 months for the sake of democracy then sure. I guess my point is don't hate the playa, hate the game.
