[Maritime Q-Scout]

I'm not an expert on the King-Byng Affair but I thought that Byng was correct. He's supposed to see if an opposition party can form government before calling an election.

I feel like the Lt. Governor in New Brunswick called on the party that won the second most seats to form government because it was a minority situation and they were the regining government.

Actually makes sense to me. If Trudeau had a minority government and knew he was going to lose, asked to dissolve Parliament, the GG could ask the CPC if they could form government first. If they could, it would save an election as the Prime Minister would have support of the majority of the house, which is the point.
