Yes, this is why there is no point of a CPC minority. Both NDP and LPC have both committed to not supporting the CPC as long as Harper is PM. If Harper delivers the throne speech and does not immediately ragequit/resign after the election, the government will just collapse and Trudeau will likely run as PM.

I'm pretty sure no one wants an immediate election again right after so a LPC/NDP coalition would likely be the alternative. Bad thing is the NDP would definitely have some sort of control in the next government. LPC minority would be preferable to this.
