Very legal indeed in our political system, in this case the onus would be
on the Governor General to call on the incumbent leader (in this case Paul
Martin) to form a coalition government with whom eve he chose, in all
likelihood the New Democrats to form a Government, and hope the hell the
coalition is strong enough to weather any and all storms till the next
election call.

JW> likely. I'm not sure what 'no-clear winner' means, but there has to

Remember this Jeb Bush said he would deliver Florida to his brother he
succeeded, did he not?

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
