@freedom Ya, probably the simplest rule. We're betting on "the first to be asked to form a government and accept" regardless of how long they cling to power in a minority sense. It is just funny that Harper could be asked to form a government, but have the NDP-Liberals really "win" the election because they agree to topple Harper and rule under some arrangement.

Technically the one with the most seats is asked to form the government, with the second most forming the opposition. In this case both Trudeau and Mulcair said they would fight against any Harper led government. So most seats would likely be the best qualification although your right this has a not small chance of taking a bit of time to decide on.

Anyway I guess if someone lasted 6 months as PM, that's public consensus

But PM could be a minority for 6 months without a coalition. I would think its first person to form a government

Treat it as the effective PM if it becomes a coalition

Technically, a PM isn't "voted into office" so electionscanada.ca won't be able to tell us. Harper with the most seats yet only enough for a minority, but could still be asked to form a government, and become PM, briefly, before losing a confidence motion. Or a second place party could form a coalition and the GG could ask them instead. Our law is actually pretty vague as to how this is supposed to go. Its all based on unwritten "constitutional convention", but Canadian and British.
