Not sure, but I would guess either Wild Rose or Crowfoot.
Slava - For the GG to reject the PM's wishes would put the Queen above the Prime Minister's wishes. That would run counter to how pretty much every Commonwealth country is run. Such actions have always been deeply controversial (i.e.: the
King-Byng Affair) and carry consequences. An election call is the safer option. If the opposition were to try another coalition six weeks after this election, it might turn out different, as the GG may decide to risk the controversy rather than call yet another election.
Speaking of coalition, people aren't buying Ignatieff's denials:

Leger Marketing surveyed 1,119 Canadians Saturday and Sunday and asked, among other things, if they believe Ignatieff when he says he's "ruling out a coaliton." Only 17% of those surveyed were prepared to take him at his word.
And even among those who identified themselves as Liberal voters, 35% do not believe their leader's claim while just 32% do believe him. Nearly half of all NDP supporters, two-thirds of BQ supporters and 86% of Tory supporters aren't buying what Iggy's selling when it comes to the coalition.
