Canadian Coalition

The Canadian Coalition typically refers to a temporary alliance of political parties formed to achieve a common goal, often seen during elections or parliamentary situations where no single party has a clear majority. For example, in 2008, the Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party (NDP) joined forces with the Bloc Québécois to challenge the Conservative government. Such coalitions aim to combine resources and influence to change policies or governance, reflecting the diverse political landscape in Canada and its parliamentary system, where cooperation among parties can be necessary for effective government.
