This is the new reality of Canadian politics. It's unlikely any party can win a majority, so unless we start entertaining the idea of coalition governments (like every other countries with a parliamentary system), we're going to see nothing but unstable minorities and elections every two years.
As a slightly left-leaning moderate, I'm not sure what scenario scares me more: a Harper majority or a coalition government with Jack Layton and the NDP in a position of real power.
