To my knowledge, the last federal coalition was in the 1920's. When i say new and unused concept, I mean to say that for the overwhelming majority of Canadians, the possibility of a coalition has not entered their minds and is not taken into account when voting.

Even though there it is legal and there is precedence in other nations, I think it is a coalition is a little underhanded in the Canadian context where its such a new and unused concept. If the NDP and Liberals want to form a government together, why not join forces going into the election, rather than after losing the election. If you want to operate as one government after the election, go into the election as one party.
