Not disagreeing at all. There is far too much political opportunism on all sides. But don't think your side's crap don't stink in this case.

The majority of Canadians did not want Harper as PM. This we know from the election. I was unaware of any referendum where we were asked if we wanted a coalition.

Strawman argument. No leader can claim majority support based on this.
Harper is the PM by virtue of holding the most seats in Parliament. Until Canadians express the desire to change how we elect our representatives (and it is long overdue), then Harper is the selection of Canadians for PM under the system that we have chosen to operate under.
