Absolutely correct in that more people voted against then for Harper. But what no one voted on and what is making most of us sane people mad about is that we are facing the possibility of a ruling party coming in with a platform that we've never even heard of!
I guarantee that if the Coalition had campaigned as a Coalition with no public agenda or platform, we'd have a majority Conservative government right now.
My problem is not with the fact that there is a potential Coalition government, my problem is that I don't know what they stand for other then some very vague promises to help the auto and forestry industries - both of which are poor industries to prop up imho. Put the money elsewhere, where it can do some good.
