PDO May 26, 2006: "Harper Set To Fix Election To A Date Of His Choosing"

The money quote from PDO:

"Harper can manufacture an impasse at a time of his choosing, say he can't govern, call an election and blame it on the opposition."

The not so money quote from the CBC, May 2, 2007:

"Once the bill (C-16) becomes law, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will not be able to call an election on his own."

MSM columnist finally gets around to explaining it, August 18 2008.

It's a terrible thing, being prescient.

RT good to hear from you.

I thought you might appreciate this quote from Toronto Tory that was left on my original post back in May of 2006:

"Only a true partisan hack would oppose the idea of fixed election dates."
