So in short, the libs struck a deal with a few other partys to get enough of a coalition to take over from the conservatives?

It could almost be acceptable if it was “a few other parties”....

The Liberal Party, and The NDP need the support of the “Bloc Quebecois” to form a government.

The Bloc is the Quebec separatist party.
They are making deals with them to achieve power.
Deals with separatists, FGS!

Canadians are not going to like this.

Essentially correct. The Conservatives did not have a majority in Parliament. So, if all the other parties join together, they get to form the new government.

But, I think their coalition will end up being unstable. If they lose a confidence vote in Parliament and have to call a new election, the people will punish the coalition parties at the polls. The electorate in a parliamentary system does not want to see governments falling so soon after an election.
