 Canada's ruling Conservatives have enough public support that they could convert their minority in Parliament to a majority, the Ekos polling company projected on Tuesday. Comments

Wouldn't it be a buzz if the NDP won, and conservatives were the opposition?

<shivers> That should be the subject of a new Stephen King novel.
socialist fantasyland
kiss an opposition party's ass to get their legislation through.
They don't have to water down what they want to do so it will pass
a vote.
It's a little bit like your presidential-congress-senate system...
if your president doesn't have a party majority in the house and senate,
there are many types of initiatives he cannot get approved.
What exactly is implied by a majority in Canada's governmental system? Nothing particularly special happens down here, but then again, someone always does have a majority down here. Maybe I should just wiki it.
simplistically, we elect a dictator for 4 years who can do
whatever the heck they want.
Til the next election, anyway

A majority mean that the majority party will form the government, select the cabinet ministers and table legislation.
Though with the number of parties we have, the majority isn't a true majority, mainly it's a party with the most number of overall seats.

You're thinking of a plurality.
The word majority refers to a 'true' majority even in Canada.
A Harper majority would be an unmitigated disaster for Canada.
The New Democrats, the left-of-center party that until now has been the smallest party in Parliament, is at 19 percent in the Ekos survey, followed by the Green Party at 11 percent and the separatist Bloc Quebecois at 9.
C'mon, you knee-dippers!
