Canada ousts conservative Prime Minister

Speaking of Bush shadow governments, the one in Canada has just been ousted.

Unpopular Prime Minster Stephen Harper of the Conservative Party has what's called a minority government. It's actually a plurality government: His party has more seats than any other single party, but not a majority.

But no more. The Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party have agreed to join forces to form a new government and choose a new Prime Minister, with backing from the Bloc Quebecois. Together, these 3 opposition parties have a majority.

Harper of course is being every bit the sore loser you'd expect. He cried that the new coalition is overturning the election results. Uh, no they're not. The Conservatives didn't win a majority, Stephen. Cope.
