Today here in Canada we have an election today and most of the polls say that we will have a change in government. Over the last 150 years or so here in Canada we have almost always had a majority government and that government has organized power in the Prime Ministers office to the point were the Canadian prime minister has had much more power over the country than a US president is given by the constitution.
If we do have a change in government today the Conservatives would lead with the Bloc Quebecois, Liberals, and NDP having enough power to kick the Conservatives out of power as soon as they think they can themselves thing that they can win another election.
One of our great failings in Canada is that there is never a minority government that has tried to build a successful coalition with another or another two parties. We are looking forward to a second minority government and could possibly see another in a year because there is never consensus building before a government is formed.
Let’s hope that changes tomorrow.
