Harper will not go to fall election unless forced before fixed date

With the Canada Elections Act came a one paragraph amendment to Canadian Tory Prime Minister Stephen Harper's planned Monday October 19, 2009 election date, giving the Governor General the final say as to when it happens, in other words, the Act is worth no more than the paper it is written upon, the Conservatives know this fully, ending any retention one has to dissolve parliament is exactly the point to making a fixed election, something that obviously has not happened in this case here.

With no such binding law, which could have been real representative reform in this nation, in effect because of constitutional issues, the whole raison d'être resigns itself, something both Harper and the ruling Tories know. Therefore, one suspects they are waiting for the Stéphane Dion Liberals, Gilles Duceppe Bloc and Jack Layton New Democrats to implode the legislation for him, especially as the backroom play that the inside work is not getting done because of an unruly opposition against the working plans of the government. Quite similar as one pretending to be prevented from governing in the House, when in fact they are disemminating secret handbooks to the media on how to disrupt parliamentary committees and create Parliament into a chaotic House of horrors like never seen before, all in a bid to end this minority government for a chance at a majority one instead.

Bush had Karl Rove, Harper has Doug Finley, so instead of full time governing, administrations have now become full time campaigns, ones that have created the slumping economies we North Americans have slowly become quite bogged down with, Harper et al may not want to repeat Monday, January 23, 2006 again, but if the governing Tories keep playing backroom games, it may just very well become like Monday, October 25, 1993 instead.
