It is probably a case of differing political environments where in Europe it common and pretty much expected that coalition governments will form and cooperate as majorities whereas that is generally not the case in Canada.
If we had more cooperation and coalitions we could see something like the PPC on the far right, a PC on the center right, an LP on the center left, an NDP-Socialist on the far left and a couple other parties that pull bits and pieces from the spectrum. But instead we get big tents that try to win majorities but have to appease a much too broad range of voters.
