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.

But if the parties come out before the voting takes place and say they would consider a coaltion and people still vote for them, then I think it is completely fine.
In most countries that use a mult-party parliamentary system, it is implicit that a coalition can form. I guess in Canada, it isn't though.
