What Did I Tell Ya?

There's an election coming.

"Alberta's lone NDP Member of Parliament is speaking out against Canada's Prime Minister over the election-style remarks he made while speaking to supporters in Edmonton.

When Stephen Harper addressed hundreds of people on Friday night at a local hotel, he argued the country will see a coalition government if the Conservatives aren't elected as the majority in the next election.

He also took direct aim at Linda Duncan's seat in Edmonton-Strathcona, saying his party is determined to win back the riding."

""The next election is going to be a choice…When the next election does come the entire future of this country is at stake… Let's be blunt: A far left coalition's only priority seems to be shutting down Alberta energy industry and putting thousands of Albertans out of work.""

"While both the Harper government and opposition leaders say no election is on the horizon, those who heard about the Prime Minister's comments have their doubts.

"The whole tone of his speech was campaign style," said local John Hunka.

"The way he was talking [Friday] night, it's gonna happen."

But as I said before, I'm predicting spring. It might be a bit too late now for a fall election and besides, they have to get their act together and implement some of those long-overdue policy initiatives and election promises and things Canadians have been clamouring for,  whether promised in the last election, or not, such as killing section 13 --- NOW --- if they want us to give them a majority.  If, on the other hand, they do call an election now for sometime in late November, they may just be history.  They've pissed off too much of their base.
