Votes of non-confidence can bring down governments, but they don't happen very often.
It might not be very common up there, but in the US it happens all the time. We would be in an endless election season here because the party that didn't win would just find some reason to try and throw out whoever had won from the other party.

And I'm surprised you guys can have an entire election in 6 weeks.
