It has been done before and everyone knows how to play the game.
Actually, I don’t think the prospect of a coalition govt was even considered. I think many people in Canada fell for the campaign pitch to deny Conservatives a majority so there’d be a check and balance, not so a leftist coalition could be formed.
It has not been done before like this. That was in ww1 and the parties were all representive of Canadians across the country, not a separtist party which shouldn't even be seated in Canadian parelement.
This stupid deal gives the separtists, who have the majority of seats in the coalition, the balance of power.
It's insane.
Meanwhile, western Canadians voted almost entirely conservative except for a few seats, and now they will have NO representation.
It's the same old, same old of Ottawa's Liberals thinking that their kingdom shall never be ruled from the west.
Western Canadians should rally and either demand this disgusting behavior of greedy leftists be stopped, or demand separation from eastern Canada. The later is perhaps the best thing they could do.
