Election time?

Sign that summer is officially over: Election Speculation

Now us Canadian bloggers have something good to discuss again. The upcoming speech from the throne on Tuesday and the following vote on Thursday are not going to cause the election. It's the fact that Harper plans on making each of his priorities from the speech a vote of confidence that will, ultimately, bring Parliament to a halt.

This does give a lifeline to Stephane Dion and the other opposition party leaders. If they can unite on an issue that would work against Harper, such as legislation on Afghanistan or the environment, they will clearly show where they differ on such important topics. This will send a very important message to the public on one particular policy. If this card is played right, it could lead to a Liberal win.
