"Canadian Government" refers to the executive (ministers and Cabinet) and the federal civil service. By definition, no party other than the Liberals is the government until the Liberals decide to add non-Liberal MPs as ministers or cabinet members. This is further supported by titles used, such as "His Majesty's Government" and "His Majesty's Loyal Opposition" in the House of Commons or "the representative of the Government" in the Senate (who is responsible for introducing and representing Government bills in the Senate after the pass the HoC).
This is how the Parliamentary system we inherited from the British works. Perhaps you are confusing our system for a republic (like the US) where all elected members collectively form the government.
That's not evident given the current decline of the country during the time period over which the Liberals have required NDP support.
Define government however you want. One party that’s not in power does nothing but bitch and moan and get in the way. Another party that’s not in power is helping to get things done that will help you and me.
But I can see from your comments you don’t actually give a shit. Politics is like sports to you and you’re team blue all the way.
I don't know, they seen pretty effective at getting supremely dumb shit passed with the help of the other parties except for the governing party who simply wants their own version of the supremely dumb shit (S-210 and C-63)
You must really like your (potentially underage) porn.
