My condolences to the people of Canada. Even though it is a minority government, I can’t see a coalition government going the other way, when one party captures 143 of the 155 votes needed for a majority.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t help that the Libs and the BQ really don’t like each other.<\/p>\n

The meltdown did prevent an absolute majority though, and should make it more difficult for his party to destroy government health care in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
