The current government was kind of a coalition. The NDP agreed to block calls for an early election if the Liberals expanded healthcare to include dental. The NDP thought this would score some political points but the move was seen more as propping up an unpopular government and they caught a lot of flak over it. They have since announced an end to their partnership, called for Trudeau to resign, and will be calling for an early election.

They could but then there wouldn't be a third party!
There are other parties with seats in parliment but, due to our first past the post voting system, it's rare they win enough seats to effect law changes.
If an area votes 40% Conservative, 35% Liberal, and 25% NDP then the seat goes to the Conservatives despite most of the people voting for left wing parties. People end up voting against the party they don't like by voting for the party most likely to beat them. The NDP supporters will vote Liberal to ensure the Conservatives don't win, causing the NDP to lose votes even though people prefer them over the other two.
"The start of a tariff war with the United States is changing voters' moods. It's harder to talk about a broken Canada when there's a growing sense of patriotism," another Conservative source said.
Damn, really sucks that Canadians have pride in their country.

The prime minister also made a series of new commitments to Trump, including a promise to appoint a new fentanyl "czar." And he promised to list Mexican cartels, one of the top purveyors of fentanyl and other drugs in Canada and the U.S., as terrorists under Canadian law.
I can almost hear how that conversation went.
"YOU HAVE TO APPOINT A FENTANYL CZAR"
"uhhh alright"
"AND DECLARE MEXICAN CARTELS TERRORISTS"
"sure thing, Donald, can you remove the tariffs now?"
"ONLY UNTIL I COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE"
Currently it's down to half an A press.
