How close is the government from falling up there?

Martin can call an election at any time as Prime Minister.

The opposition can vote the government out on a "non-confidence vote", when a "confidence motion" is being voted on. (Budgets, etc.)

The opposition do have 'opposition days', when they can put forward motions.
Last week the Liberals canceled something like 4 or 6 of the opposition days.

If we had an election today, the Conservative Party of Canada would win a majority.

JBG, can you correct me or clarify further? Thanks.

That's very possible - and the only truly "national" party (unless the NDP can pick up some in Atlantic Canada). I'm starting to think that the Conservatives may be able to win a few seats in Quebec just by playing the "morals" card (trying to go after the leftover truly preaching Catholics and undo the Quiet Revolution) with no special deals!
