Is Harper crazy?

I don't get it. Our acting prime minister certainly appears to be crazy. He's practically foaming at the mouth about the opposition parties forming a "coalition".

1. Stephen Harper is running a coalition government - a joint effort by the Reform party and the Progressive Conservative party. These were two distict parties with differing platforms that found a way to work together to improve their collective influence.
2. When in the opposition, Stephen Harper actively sought out the support of other parties to help him defeat the then Liberal minority government and create a "coalition" to rule in its place. He didn't have any problem working with socialists and separatists then, why should anyone else have a problem working with them now?
3. Iggy isn't forming a coalition, he's forming a consensus. That's how minority governments are supposed to work. The leader finds common ground among disparate points of view to create a governing framework that best suits the majority of Canadians, even if no one party represents that majority view.

When the election rolls around, we seriously need to ask ourselves this: Who do we want as prime minister? Do we want a statesman and scholar who understands complex issues, develops consensus among conflicting views, and finds ways for all the parties to work together, or do we want someone who bullies literally anyone who disagrees with him (from within his own party or from outside it) and uses every concievable opportunity to increase his own influence and power (even grandstanding at international press conferences for pity's sake)?

This will not be an election about issues. It will be an election about personalities. Your decision will be a lot easier if every time you hear the word "coalition" come out of Harper's mouth, you pretend he said "consensus". It's certainly what everyone else should be saying.
