Where does it say that the opposition leaders would agree to form a coalition? Suppose the GG does as the letter requests. She asks the opposition leaders if they are willing to form a coalition government (well within confines of our democracy) and they say no (which seems likely since they never agreed to form a coalition government in the first place). That's it, that's all. You don't have a leg to stand on here. You want to claim that a letter asking the GG to consider her options is a smoking gun that points to Harper trying to form a coalition government and it isn't.
