I agree with this. I think that the CPC wanted an election because they figure they can get a majority, and the opposition was waiting for an issue that they figured they could make a stand and campaign on.
I just get tired of hearing how the opposition foisted this unwanted, unnecessary election upon the poor electorate. In reality everyone of these parties cares about gaining power and for one reason or another wanted this campaign.
(I might give a pass to Layton here, just because the poor guy probably would've liked another few months to recover from his surgery and such)
