Its an interesting strategy, and it might sharply reduce the seats that the NDP holds in the West which in theory could give the Conservatives the majority numbers that they want. but I would be more concerned if the Conservatives forced an election in this way that there might be severe backlash in Ontario and East.

I would prefer that the perception remained that the Troika forced this election.
