4 elections in 5 years and only 1 of them the torries fault. What are opposition hoping to gain from another election? Who's to blame for wasting tax money now? Not to mention the whole coalation disaster.

Only one? Methinks you are conveniently forgetting that Harper toppled Martin in 2005, and called another one last fall. That's 2 out of 3, or half if there is one this fall. The Conservatives are hardly the innocents you make them out to be.

It couldn't be that the ADSCAM scandal caused the house to lose confidance and vote him out, would it? .. but that was all Harper's fault.

[bootlegga]

It doesn't matter why the government fell, but rather who was behind the motion to topple the government.

$1:

The Conservatives have tabled a motion of non-confidence in the House of Commons, setting the stage for a vote that could topple the Liberal minority government and spark a rare winter election.

Yeah, Harper is totally innocent of causing that election...

Spin it how you like but Iggy's pulling the pin on this one and it's looking to blow up in his face.

It's not spin, it's a dodge to say Harper only forced one election, when he tried his damnedest to oust Martin in April 2005 but had the rug pulled out from under him by the NDP and Cadman.

Perhaps you should take some remedial reading courses, because I said Harper was on the hook for two out of three previous elections (66%), or half (two out of four = 50%) if there is one this fall.
