Ok. Now I get what you are saying. My bad - I never read back far enough.
I agree with you 100%.
If the CPC has the most seats, Harper will presume to form the government.
The GG would have to declare he step aside (so we don't get called to another election)? I have no idea how/if that might work constitutionally.
Unless Trudeau is PM, I expect the LPC would pass on this and work with the CPC instead. 2011 was a real low for the LPC. Not sure is working under the NDP would be palatable or strategic for them at this time.
