Strike while the iron is hot

Well, well, well. While the BQ appear to be in a tailspin the Quebec Liberals are poised to call a provincial election. There have been reports of a plan to call an early election and have the federal budget, which solves the "fiscal imbalance", be released in the final stages of said campaign. Looks like this plan is coming together.

Does that mean Harper is getting ready to shaft Saskatchewan and Newfoundland? Oh, I can hear the screaming now.

Chester:

Is there an election coming?

The answer is yes. To verify,

1) Go to blueblogging soapbox, for a full hour Dion interview here:

http://www.bluebloggingsoapbox.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2042

(note the paper’s editorial which skewers Dion)

2) Listen, and

3) Ask yourself if any reasonable Canadian would want this man leading the country.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Dion’s a disaster. That clip alone had enough material to produce 50 ads for the CPC:

the Afghan war was caused by “a lack of Water”,
on healthcare, we should find the best practices and then “celebrate them”
his advocacy for the environment is simplistic at best, frighteningly socialist if taken literally
his English is so garbled, one has to strain to find meaning

How could this have happened? Dion wasn’t “chosen” he was a by-product of a fractured “anybody but” campaign.

As Harper knows this, there will be an election.

And you heard it from Chester first: It’ll be a CPC Majority.
