Time for some reading rube.

Yeah, I wrote that wrong. My point was that the PM doesn't retain a mandate after the election and that his status as PM has no bearing on whether the GG will dissolve parliament or go to the opposition leader. Harper could technically ask the GG to dissolve parliament again and force another election, but the GG doesn't have to grant that. The more likely scenario is the GG going to ask the opposition leader if they can form a government.
