I'm not a conservative supporter, nor do I agree with a number of their decisions; however from looking at the polls - I think people will focus on one party to get a majority & probably will be the Tories this time.
I do not see Canadians electing the Liberals as a majority government.... especially after all the waste that occurred during their time in power as well.
Unfortunately.... no matter who is in control... their always seems to be lies, wasted money & scandals.

I agree that it is a waste. The only other alternative though is for the parties to pass a budget that they don't feel represents their constituants... and that is not democracy. Parties should not vote for something over fear of an election. The opposition doesn't really have a lot to gain by having an election right now, but I think Harper forced their hand.
Minority governments should work together with opposition parties to come up with budgets that will pass. Harper seems like he wants to run a minority government as a majority as excludes the majority of parliament from participating in the process.
