Imagine, thinking that the Liberal government would actually let the Opposition bring forward their own legislation as per usual in the House of Commons. Imagine me buying Mike Duffy's report that there would be an Opposition Day next week.
Turns out the first one won't be one until November 15th.
Spring it is.
Update: I liked how Alexander Panetta
told the tale in Macleans.
The Liberal government has stacked the parliamentary calendar to make it almost impossible for the Opposition to trigger an election before the winter holidays.
Tuesday's move to delay opposition days until Nov. 14 will likely spare the Liberals their nightmare scenario of campaigning in the shadow of Justice John Gomery's most damning report on the sponsorship scandal
..."It's obviously not going to be a fall election," said Tory House Leader Jay Hill.
"It's a question of whether it would be a winter election, I guess."
