> Also Canadians do not like minority governments. Proportional representation is not that popular on Canada. Proportional representation doesn't need to result in minority governments. Proportional voting is very common in Europe but minority governments aren't. Just means parties need to find common themes on which they agree, and compromise on some their more controversial goals. Finland has had up to six parties in a single government to make sure tough decisions can be passed.

Coalitions are minority governments. They are super common in Europe.

  Only when the coalition doesn't have a majority of the parliament seats. I don't think minority governments are common at all in Europe, as the whole point of a coalition is usually to get majority.
