Looks like Trudeau has formed another government--minority government.

I believe the last German election required weeks of negotiation before the "grand coalition" was voted in. Ditto Sweden (in an attempt to keep the Swedish Democrats out of the Riksdag) and Israel and Belgium always wait for weeks before a coalition is formed.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Canada rarely does coalitions? I think you had one during the world wars, and maybe one other time?

Why do you do minority governments, rather than coalitions (like many other parliamentary democracies)?
