Yes, this is a clear indication of how Harper works. He passes a law and then ignores it. It was his idea in the first place. He is afraid of getting his ass handed to him if he waits. He also wants to prevent some bielections that were coming up. What a tool I so do not want an election, but a couple of days ago I saw a commercial that was the sure sign one was coming. I just about lost my lunch, Stephen Harper saying how he loves his son, so he's the guy to run the country. And so it begins..... |

I'm just glad to see those here at GLP engage in a political discourse. If anything, it opens our minds to how things work and how to "attempt" to change. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 291772
A little more discourse on how things (really) work:
"Bilderberg has long been an important forum for up-and-coming politicians of Western nations to be introduced to the global financial elite; the heads of the major multinational corporations, international banks, world financial institutions, global governing bodies, think tanks, and powerful individuals of the likes of David Rockefeller and various European monarchs, including Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, daughter of founding member, Prince Bernhard, as well as Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos of Spain.
According to The Globe and Mail, such Canadian Prime Ministers have, in the past, (often before becoming Prime Minister), attended a Bilderberg Conference as a guest, including Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chretien, Paul Martin and Stephen Harper.3 Tony Blair attended Bilderberg before becoming Prime Minister,4 as did the current British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, who also recently called for the establishment of a "new world order."5
Interestingly, as the Washington Post reported, Vernon E. Jordon, a high-powered American executive, who sits on several corporate boards, including American Express, Xerox, J.C. Penney, Dow Jones, and Sara Lee, to name a few, also happens to be a very close friend of former President Bill Clinton. However, "it was Jordan who first introduced then-Gov. Clinton to world leaders at their annual Bilderberg gathering in Germany in 1991. Plenty of governors try to make that scene; only Clinton got taken seriously at that meeting, because Vernon Jordan said he was okay."6 Clinton subsequently became President."
"Recently, there has been much discussion about Barack Obama having possibly attended the recent Bilderberg conference in Virginia. This speculation arose when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton sneaked off for a secretive meeting while in Virginia."
"On Friday, June 6, it was reported that Bilderberg tracker, Jim Tucker, "called Obama’s office today to ask if he had attended Bilderberg. A campaign spokeswoman refused to discuss the matter but would not deny that Obama had attended Bilderberg."9" [link to www.globalresearch.ca]

I'm holding my nose and supporting Stephane Dion, at the very least his government would give us subsidies to retro-fit our houses...this will help to lessen our fuel bills.
Whatever happens we must not give power to Stephen Harper, if he had been in power back in the day, we'd have US missile defence outposts throughout the country and Canadian soldiers dying in Iraq.
A big, speculative sack of horse-crap..
Don't forget - it was a LIBERAL government that sent us into Afghanistan, and Gulf War One..
No, it was Mulroney and his conservatives that sent us to the gulf war. Harper has flouted the hearings into the election funding scam, he has put a gag order on his MPs, they are afraid to speak with the constituents and the media, the press has been banished and it is the most dictatorial government in my lifetime. And this is what we get with a minority, if they were to get a majority I would leave the country, because we can kiss our sovereignty goodbye if that happens. And I disagree, Trudeau was the best prime minister in my lifetime. He governed in difficult times and good times and kept us separate from the the US and the USSR, we maintained good relationships with both countries. None of the parties today are capable of governing. The Conservatives have shown they are just as corrupt as the Liberals and the NDP is only effective in opposition where all they have to do is criticise and not actually come up with solutions. The Greens are conservatives dressed in green suits. The Canadian Action Party is the only one that is talking about what is important, but they don't have a hope in hell of winning a seat. I will hold my nose and vote liberal, I live in a riding that is traditionally conservative, but this time it is pretty likely that the votes will sway Liberal for the first time in my memory, because of the election funds scandal and the fact that the MP has been hiding from us and voting with Harper instead of the way people that elected him want him to. A lot of people are severely pissed about that. I hope for another minority, winning party doesn't matter, and I hope we get a good showing of independents elected who will actually vote the way their constituents want and not according to some party line.
Well said, AC!
As for Trudeau, he was a true statesman, imo!

As for the Conservatives...
Does anyone remember what happened after Mulroney?
They got ONE seat!
Which is how we got the 'extreme' right, with Harper as leader.
Scary stuff, imo 
Regarding the ethics of the Tories...
[link to ca.news.yahoo.com]
<snip>
The elections commissioner is investigating Conservative financing practices during the last election campaign.
The agency alleges the Tories transferred national funds in and out of campaign accounts for 67 candidates during the last federal election to skirt the party's national spending limit.
It says the practice allowed the party to exceed its national campaign spending limit by $1.1 million and enabled local candidates to claim rebates on expenses they hadn't actually incurred.

I remember when that meeting occured. Did McCain go? I have done some research on various government office holders attending such meetings. I had a bet going with a friend that this would be John Edwards year. haha, I know, I know, but his name seemed to be the only one on the latest (at that time) CFR meeting. With this said, and if it's true that McCain did NOT attend, could it be said that Obama would be in line for the job?
Getting back to Canada, I just can't adjust to the fact that the entire parliment is dissolved. It's been functional since its inception, so I suppose all is well. I do think there are some strange issues ahead. It does seem odd that Canada, the US, and Mexico have "so called conservative leadership". They all got put into power with the theory that the liberals were destroying their respective countries. I don't know what Harper has done that's so amazing to get boost his parties presence, but there does seem to be some truth (although small) in this North American Union issue. I think it is safe to say that these elections are very important due to the fact that these next "leaders" will be the ones to usher in the NAU or kill it. It's very hard to wrap the thought around. I can't get used to the fact that Republicans aren't independent small government conservatives anymore.
It is stated that one mans garbage is another mans treasure. I submit to you that the same can be said for information or knowledge. What is truth and religion to one man is a conpsiracy to another; and to another, that information could be utter nonsense.

The one thing I find "off" about this is that usually minority governments (which are quite common in Canadian politics) lose a vote of confidence in Parliament and then the government is dissolved. It is slightly unusual for a Prime Minister to arbitrarily decide to call an election after only three years.
Now the conventional wisdom is that Harper looked at the polls and decided that the timing was right to try for a majority.
So far so good. However it will be criticised as hypocritical when Harper himself got a law passed to prevent governments from arbitrarily calling elections solely because the latest poll was in their favour. Furthermore, at the outset, Harper said that he would govern "as if he had a majority". This was working quite well for him too.
The Liberals were in disarray after some really wretched corruption scandals (I will never vote for them again until every sitting Liberal MP today has left politics.) They were acting more like his coalition partners than a true opposition (think Nancy Pelosi).
Now Harper is changing tack.
Their may indeed be something sinister about this.
With the US bailout of Freddie and Fanny (whoever they are- LOL) perhaps Harper knows that the financial debacle is fast approaching. He wants to consolidate his position and gain a solid mandate to govern for the next four years before Canadians wake up to how really fucked we are.
For the record, I live in Rahim Jaffer's riding (Conservative). He's got it locked up. Since my vote won't change that, I'm voting for the one really honest party - THE MARIJUANA PARTY (yes there is such a party and they usually field a candidate in Edmonton-Strathcona riding.

Agreed. One of Paul Martin's ships (based in Bermuda to avoid the outrageous taxes which he levied on his countrymen) was subject to one of the biggest heroin busts in Canada's history. The next thing you know he has us joining the invasion of Afghanistan to protect the poppy crop from Islamic fundamentalists. Conflict of interest or what?
What I really cannot forgive though is the Liberal immigration minister who tried twice to issue work visas to Eastern European sex slave trading rings.

Happens all the time. The Canadian government runs under the British parliamentary system. Right now, there is a minority government in place which means that the ruling government has less than 50% of the seats in Parliament. Thus, the ruling government must work with the opposition parties to ensure a functioning government. A minority government could be defeated at any time in parliament causing another election. This government has lasted about 30 months which is fairly long for a minority govt.
In general, the prime minister can call for an election at any time and when this occurs, parliament dissolves. I am not sure what happens in an emergency but the PM retains his powers until elections day and I suspect emergency sessions of parliament could be called if necessary.

no no No NO! IT'S ALL A SETUP!
They don't actually run anything. They don't vote. They are just there to rule over their district, not vote on anything.
