How many people does it take to form a majority government?
In a parliamentary democracy, a majority government is one in which the ruling party has a majority of the seats in parliament. In contrast, a coalition government is one in which two or more parties combine to have a majority of the seats, and thus form a government. A minority government is one in which no party or coalition has a majority of the seats, but the largest party forms a government anyway. Minority governments are very unstable, and generally do not last very long.

How many seats does the majority leader of Canada hold?
Each Member of Parliament holds a single seat. Canada doesn't have a position called "majority leader". The equivalent position in Canada is Leader of the Government. Like in the US House of Representatives, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is not truly the leader of their party, that being the Prime Minister (as opposed to the Speaker of the House as is the case in the US). For a party to form a majority government, it must have over half the seats in the House of Commons. Currently, this means at least 155 members. The current government (as of March, 2011) is a minority government, with 143 seats.
Do the conservatives have a majority government in Canada?
Canada has a parliamentary form of government. For decades, at least three and usually four political parties have elected members to Canada's House of Commons. If, in a general election, one of the political parties elects members in half or more of the ridings, that party forms what is known as a "majority" government. In a majority government, the governing party is able to outvote the combined parties in opposition. If a political party elects the largest number of members, but not more than half, it forms what is known as a "minority" government. During a minority government, the government requires the support of at least one of the opposition parties. If it fails to get that support, the government is "defeated." If a government is defeated, it usually results in Parliament being dissolved and a general election being held.
Did Newfoundland want to have the confederation?
Newfoundland had two separate referendums on joining Canada. In 1948, there were 3 options on the referendum: 1. Responsible Government - 44.6% 2. Confederation with Canada - 41.1% 3. Commission of Government - 14.3% Since there was no clear majority and the third option was an outlier it was removed from the ballot and a re-vote was commenced on July 22, 1948: 1. Confederation with Canada - 52.3% 2. Responsible Government - 47.7% This has been a debate amongst many Newfoundlanders that a majority of citizens did not actually want a confederation with Canada due to losing the first referendum, and that the majority vote was won by rural swing votes.
