My understanding is that the election following the non-confidence vote that felled the Harper government is likely to produce yet another Harper minority government, so whether it will change anything is unclear. We’ll see as polling data starts to emerge…

…however, a commenter notes that 308 is projecting a Conservative majority. I’ll believe the Tories getting 46 57 seats in Ontario when I see it…

Harper (a Conservative, head of a minority coalition government) was hit with Canada's first Contempt of Parliament vote, thus lost a confidence vote, and the Conservatives may win an outright majority? It's things like that that make me think that while Parliamentary systems have some advantages over the US system, they're not overwhelmingly better.

Apparently the election will be May 2. Fingers crossed, Jake.

Cheers,
Scott.
