No, WE didn't. YOU tried to, but YOU failed. Harper has a minority government, and he can only govern with the confidence of the parliament, which is who WE elected. 62% of people voted for the opposition parties. The current parliament has a majority of left wing MPs.
Harper proposes a confidence motion, confidence motion fails, government is toppled. This is elementary civics people, read a fucking book before crying about your lunatic evangelicals not being able govern like they are a majority when they are in fact a very very weak minority.
The ignorance of some Canadians on basic civic issues is astounding.
