Why will a conservative majority government be good for Canada?
It won't be, particularly. Majority government just means that the government can push its policy through largely unaltered and unopposed. Whether that policy is good or bad is entirely subjective. From a more general standpoint, majority government means that a portion of the population gets what they want, and the rest can be ignored. This is good if you happen to belong to the portion that is getting what it wants, but appears unjust to the rest of the population. Minority government means that the views of the population have to be better taken into account, or else the government can fall. Some will argue that having strong, focused policy, and a stable government that doesn't have to worry about being defeated at any time, is more important than what that policy actually is, and so majority government is preferable regardless of who forms it.
