Knew better than the Canadian people? You do realize that Harper was rejected by two thirds of this nation? And yet somehow he is the only one with the right to govern?
If he does not have the confidence of the house, he has no right to govern. Its plain and simple. The only reason some think this is a bad idea is because Canada has not had to experience coalition governments outside extraordinary circumstances. Other parliamentary democracies have gotten used to the idea of coalition governments, and maybe Canada will get used to it in the future.
