This is system, the number of seats count, not popular votes. You should go to Election Canada and check out the statistics. For the past majority Lib government, they all own by 38-41% popular votes.
The same as in US. In 2000, Al Gore got more poplar votes when George W Bush was elected.
Back to the real topic, I have deep concern's for Canada as Stephen Harper comes into power. The Conservative government will establish a new Corporate Canada, the gap between rich and poor will widen, social welfare budget will be cut. Tough road lies ahead for the middle class and working class, good for the rich men.
When will Canadian start seeing the light? To me all these political party leaders are suits. All of them are propaganda machines working for the party to achieve personal materialistic gains. Words are their swords as lies are their expertise. To me, what Canadians voted for today is, overpriced stealth bombers, and possibly the privatization of essential services like health-care. You guys really think Harper will help the majority to get more wealth? I wish next time come election, fellow LYK can heed the warning signals, and listen to what you really want from a government. Don't listen to radio, TV or search the internet for blatant lies and deception. Listen to yourself, how can we create a paradise after all the effort we put in to come to Canada? Did we come to compete with each other who got the nicest homes, best cars or trophy wife? Or do we have a purpose? A purpose to achieve a society with social equality, social justice, and a sense of giving back to Mother Earth when we had fun in this play land. Please think twice before you vote 4 years later.

Why are you so apprehensive of the Conservative majority government, my friend? I have my doubts about how "nice" Mr. Stephen "Bully" Harper will be, and wonder how ruthless his majority government might become. But hey, guess what? If he really tries to pull all that, he is gonna get his a$$ kicked and handed back to him in 4 years. That's the beauty of our democratic system. We let them continue governing if they are doing a good job, and we kick them out if they screw up. It isn't like we're living in Mainland China where you are effectively stuck with each generation of party leaders for 10 years in office (via two 5-year terms), and you don't even get to choose them yourself.
4 years is not a very long time. Yes, some damage can be done if they really screw up. But at the end of the day, voters and the Canadian public are the big bosses. We get to decide the future of our nation in our own hands.
