We had an election LESS than 3 years ago...another one Canadians didn't want.
The election less than three years ago was brought on by Harper ignoring his own fixed election date law and asking the GG to dissolve parliament. The opposition parties did not pass a non-confidence motion in 2008; the Conservatives are 100% responsible for the last "unwanted" election.

Do I think they have been a perfect government? Not even close but i have never seen such an animal. Beyond that prorogueing parliament was absolutely the correct thing to do IMO. Canadians DID NOT WANT the proposed coalition so in that case the CPC gave the people what they wanted.
What are your thoughts on the second time Harper prorogued parliament (last year)? That one had absolutely nothing about preventing the opposition from forming a coalition.
