  • Possible fall election

    This is pure speculation at this point, but I really hope we don't have an election in early November because that will surely cause widespread distribution of pandemic flu.

    Prime Minister Harper may face another election
    We could be heading to the polls for a second time this year.

    A new report from La Presse in Montreal says the Liberals will introduce a non-confidence motion two days after Finance Minister Jim Flaherty releases his report card on the economy.

    According to the Quebec newspaper, it received the confirmation from a source very close to the Liberal leader.

    Political Scientist, Dr. Duane Bratt says this news doesn't come as a surprise and if the motion is brought forward, the government will fall.

    He believes Prime Minister Harper has the leg up in this situation because the conservatives are more prepared for a campaign and Bratt says the likely outcome is either a Conservative or a Liberal minority.

    Michael Ignatieff's spokesperson says this report is speculation.

    The paper says the motion will be introduced in the week of September 28th, meaning the election day will likely be in early November.
