I think the GG would have to dissolve parliament if the Liberals tried to pull an about face and take power through the back door of a coalition (such as we saw in 2008). I don't believe there is a precedent to this, but outright lying to Canadians would create a very strong case to head back to the polls in that situation. Which would allow Canadians to vote on the acceptability of such a coalition instead of being deceived.

Yeah, I am not against coalition governments in general, but I think they need to be upfront about it before the people vote so they know what they are voting for. Just because someone supports one party, it doesn't mean they would want a coalition. I would be pissed if they formed a coalition after voting for them on the basis that there would be no coalition with the NDP.
I would probably support a CPC/Liberal coalition, but I know that is extremely unlikely.
