I'm still hoping for an NDP/Bloc coalition. Among other things, it would get the knickers of various people in Washington into a severe knot.
But for our nuclear arsenal, you'd probably drive us out.
I wonder what position Michael Ignatieff would take on a US invasion.
I say that, through some huge joke gone wrong, the Marxist-Leninist Party will end up winning 257 seats, a clear majority, which would allow them to form the next government. Statues of Canadian communists, lie Fred Rose, will begin to appear everywhere. Then the statues of foreign communists will start to pop up here and there. A statue of Lenin at Harbour Front Centre, a bust of Karl Marx at the Olympic Stadium, a plaque dedicated to the memory of Stalin in Regina, etc.
Next thing you know, we'll get into an ideological fight dispute with China, who will have rediscovered the wonders of Maoism. This will lead to maritime border disputes, as Canada will have annxed South Korea, royally pissing off Kim Il Jong in the process. The folks in the Kremlin will look on all of this with envy, get nostalgic, rebuild the Berlin wall and put Gorbachev back in power. It'll be as if nothing ever changed. The Americans will then decide to bring Reagan's mummified body back to life to send him to Germany so he can tell Mr. Gorbachev to tear down the wall.
Meanwhile, China says "fuck it" and invades Taiwan, Japan goes imperial and takes the Philipines and Australia. New Zealand and Fujimori, the former Peruvian President and new Emperor of Japan, decide to take South America in a series of bloodless coups (except in Belize. Who knew they could be so tough?). The Soviet Union decides to send gas bombs to every European country, but they all get away because they see the clouds coming. Every country except for France because all of their cars have been burnt to a crisp.
At this point, everyone realizes that this global catastrophe is all of Canada's fault and everyone decides to gang up on us, thus bringing an end to the debacle that was/will be the 2006 elections.

OMFG MOST AWESOME IMAGE EVER WILL YOU MARRY ME!!!!!!??????
The Nepalese Maoists eventually have a change of heart and join forces with the Dalai Llama who, to their surprise also had a change of heart and started an armed insurgency in the Himalayas. This doesn't last too long because they're discovered by adventure seeking westerners who teach them the wonders of consumer co-ops and outdoors equipment stores. Rumour has it that the Dalai Llama is now working in a Mountain Equipment Co-op in Vancouver, but no one knows for sure.
If you wanted to know what he's saying in the original Russian so you can yell it at people for fun, it's:
MY VAS POKHORONIM!!!!
MY VAS POKHORONIM!!!!
So what are the odds for the various combinations? I'd bet on a minority government, but I have no clue what sort of coalition might crawl out from under the woodwork.
time to haul out the "rock the vote" imagery again....
Holy crap, I know, right! If only ours would be taken down... Well, one congressman at a time here I guess. Just had one tearfully resign and plead guilty to bribery and tax evasion stuff. Warmed my heart just a little. It's hard to keep track of the republican criminal scandals.
The Japanese will have to fight off the Indonesian hordes before they get their hands on Australia. Other than that little detail, your scenario seems entirely plausible.
Also, Kashmir will surprise us all by taking over most of Paskistan.

I just figured out why 'people' don't want to legalize gay and polyamorous marriage - think of all the visa possibilities!
Personally, I will marry anyone with an EU or US passport, I can offer full residency in Australia in exchange. It's very nice here, and one day we may get rid of our current govt.

Come on NDP! Gain some more seats and really force the Liberal Party off of their stupid privitization and tax cut schemes. Gosh darn moderates.
Ahem. The last time I checked it was British regulars and not Canadian militia that burned the White House down. Not that we didn't deserve it down here in The States because we did invade you and all but the Canadians were not marching through Virginia and Maryland to burn the White House down in that war.
omg omg omg how weird i totally was thinking about this last night out of nowehere...like before it happened obviously, or else there'd be no point.
wait is this a good thing?

Man, that's what the US needs to do!
