Minority governments are unstable, unpredictable, and result from very close-call elections. They may be okay-ish at getting progressive domestic policies passed, but the priority should be strong foreign policy for the near term. A majority is at least stable and consistent.
I’m a Canadian-US dual citizen - the US can only exist in two forms: supermajority and dysfunction. Trump is an outcome of this binary choice because either someone can do everything they want or nothing - majority governments are a terrible outcome because the divisions of us, the populace, get subsumed by the party platform and policies that may represent just over a quarter of the population can get forced through.
When you have a minority government you need to give and take and policies end up better aligned to the public will - including priorities that the plurality party may not focus on (like the NDP’s new dental plan).
Everyone except the CPC is united in rejecting American expansionism. If we have a minority government there will be no hesitation when it comes to telling Americans to fuck off.
Please fucking no - majority governments suck.
Compromise is a necessary part of the political process.

There is no compromise with MAGA. The conservatives need to purge that element of their party.
A minority government composed of LPC and NDP or BQ.
The LPC shouldn’t have unilateral control but should be required to sell their policies to the other policies.
Yes, but unfortunately we have a system that only produces minorities when you’re very close to the other guy getting a majority.
Yes, I agree minority governments are the most productive.
