That's not what happened at all. The GG allowed prorogation because rejecting the PM's request to do so would've opened giant constitutional can of worms.

I don't believe the GG would ever allow a coalition to be made so shortly after an election where the option of a coalition was so strongly rejected by it's own members. It is the definition of undemocratic and would undermine the very foundations of responsible government.

It may be the definition of undemocratic but is completely in line with our form of government. Politicians aren't required to stick to their campaign promises.

If they want to form a coalition, then so be it. Go ahead and run under those principles. But there is no reason to mislead and deceive Canadians, no matter how much the extreme left "hates" Harper.

Haha, so 60-65% of Canadians now qualify as the extreme left?
