This morning the Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, asked the Governor General to dissolve parliament and call a general election on October 14, 2008 after the shortest campaign allowed by law - 40 days. Yeah, take that America with your 3 year process of primaries and caucuses.
For those that don't know, Canada's parliamentary system is like the UK. We indirectly elect the PM by voting for our own members of parliament.
I don't know if anyone cares about Canadian politics, but I'm guessing one or two Canucks might have some things to say.
For now, I don't have much. I guess Harper called the election a year and 5 days earlier than scheduled because he expects to win a majority. It'll be interesting to see how they fare the campaign.
Let's say for now I'm really disliking Stephane Dion. I've always been a Liberal but I might have to give my vote to another party this year. He seems vastly incapable, and we don't need another Francophone PM, pleeeease.
