As a matter of fact, an incredible amount was accomplished by minority governments in Canada in the late 50s and early/mid 60s, including the introduction of medicare, the St. Lawreence Seaway project (I think), the selection of a national flag and anthem (oh, don't start ;-) and the Bill of Rights. The promise of Canada was limitless during that time, but the Trudeauistas wrecked it all. Now it's no better than a corrupt, tin-pot banana republic, with the treasury being plundered by a defacto dictator. Sigh.
