I never understood why Canadians are so opposed to coalitions.

I can't speak for everyone but I don't like the coalition idea because it's not what you voted for. For example if I vote Liberal for whatever reason and then policies from NDP and Bloc get passed which I do not agree with, that's not how I voted. Also Liberal is supposed to be closer to the middle of the political spectrum and would be pushed further left, which again is not what you vote for.
I personally think the people should choose who is in power, and although more may choose 3 parties in total than choose 1, that does not mean more people chose a coalition... if that makes sense.
