Harper's going to break his own law he passed on fix date elections, apparently.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper portrayed a snap election as a virtual certainty Tuesday morning and hinted it will likely be triggered next week, before three Sept. 8 by-elections.  At an Ottawa press conference Tuesday, Mr. Harper insisted he would not be breaking his word by disregarding his own fixed-election-date law that sets voting day in October, 2009, insisting that opposition parties want to bring down the government before then, so it is up to him to remove doubts about who will govern.[/p]

lol I love Canadians, you guys are hilarious.

Personally I prefer a parliamentary system over what we've got. Harper is going to talk about an elected Senate reform during this election. Just look down here for what that does, just creates gridlock. Plus it means more politicians! lol (just get rid of it, best option, turn the Senate room into a museum or something). lol

didn't we just have an election with the same losers running for power?

  Oh well, good excuse to turn off the TV.

The first party that says they will abolish the senate has my vote.  What a waste of money!

I say just put all the leaders in a cage and last man standing, wins! Medieval style.

  They probably wouldn't even fight, just hide in each corner sucking their thunbs. Pathetic and at a stalemate! Kind of like our current parliament.
