According to my morning Ottawa Citizen, the next Prime Minister of Canada, Michael Ignatieff, will most likely make an announcement as early as this morning whether Canadians can expect to head back to the polls, or if the Liberal Party will support the Conservative government's economic report.
Our current Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, future Calgary real estate salesman of the year, weighed in on the issue, telling reporters that Canadians don't want an election during a recession.
Inexplicably the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic Party want an election even though polls show that both parties will lose seats in a summer of 2009 vote.
A last point to consider is that the Members of Parliament that were elected in the June 2004 election don't get their pensions fully vested until they spend six years in Ottawa. This is no trifling manner; one has to think that the future personal security of the scores of MPs who came in in 2004 is in play as well.
