How many people does it take to form a majority government?
In a parliamentary democracy, a majority government is one in which the ruling party has a majority of the seats in parliament. In contrast, a coalition government is one in which two or more parties combine to have a majority of the seats, and thus form a government.

How many seats does the majority leader of Canada hold?
Each Member of Parliament holds a single seat. Canada doesn't have a position called "majority leader". The equivalent position in Canada is Leader of the Government. Like in the US House of Representatives, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is not truly the leader of their party, that being the Prime Minister (as opposed to the Speaker of the House as is the case in the US). For a party to form a majority government, it must have over half the seats in the House of Commons. Currently, this means at least 155 members. The current government (as of March, 2011) is a minority government, with 143 seats.
