This is about the Libs and/or the NDP doing some compromising and not all of it falling on the CPC...THATS how a minority government can work, not just the other way around.
The CPC needs to recognize that they are going to have to make some concessions though if they don't win a majority. At this point they keep coming back to the idea that the party with the most seats gets to form a government....that sounds good, but its not entirely true. People are not going to want another election in 6 months, so if the CPC wins the most seats and still a minority its incumbent upon them to form a coalition and attempt to work with another party. For them to "govern like they have a majority" is just putting us back at the polls.
