How many people around here were up in arms when Stephen Harper dropped the writ in clear violation of a law that he passed? Probably very few because in this case the political party that many agree with was going for power. However, one thing is clear, Ignatieff isn't breaking any laws.

Honestly, I wasn't happy about the snap election last time, and I'm just as if not more unhappy this time around. I still can't point to any significant issues that should cause this government to fall.
I can also point out that causing a government to fall over budgetary items that you as the opposition party supported only a few months ago is ridiculous.
The Liberal's also walked away from the UI committee today claiming that the Conservatives wouldn't budge and see things their way. The Conservatives are claiming that the Liberals won't budge on the ridiculously stupid demand for UI eligibility after 360 hours worked.
I'm hoping to an extent that there's a severe backlash against the Liberal party if they trigger an election and a majority government is elected so that we can have 4 years without going to the polls.
But Canadian's being Canadian's, there's no way this isn't another minority government.
