i would have voted against both halves.

but note that what was developed in the new house is a "grand coalition". these are rare in canada, and almost always work the other way around. for example, stephane dion propped up stepphen harper - and got hammered for it.

you might have to go back to the 1960s and lester pearson to find another example of the conservatives voting to pass liberal legislation in a minority parliament.

this is not because the conservatives have decided to be reasonable, it's because the liberals swung hard to the right under carney.
