It appears our cousins, friends & neighbors to the north will be allowing conservative Steven Harper to continue in office. Although it's not as bad as it initially sounds.
But the Conservative Party leader was expected to fall short of winning the parliamentary majority he sought by calling early elections. That would force him to continue relying on the opposition to pass legislation, as he has since first winning power in 2006.
Though a lack of comprehension of the parliamentary process seems to be keeping the Canucks from effectively dealing w/ their problem.
The party winning the most seats generally forms the government, with its leader becoming prime minister. The opposition parties could unite and topple Harper if they won enough seats for a majority, but analysts said that was unlikely because the parties have no tradition of forming such coalitions.
Wise up, neighbors.
