The rumours of a possible snap election once the Speaker announces his decision on a possible contempt issue are welcome.
In my view, Ignatieff should call a snap confidence motion if and as soon as the Speaker announces a decision that finds the Harper government in contempt.
Given their past statements, all three opposition parties should find that they support the no confidence motion.
And this would mean an election based on the Harper Tories diminution of our democratic rights, and contempt for the rights of our MPs.Fighting an election on these grounds will give the opposition parties the chance to frame the issues as the protection of the Canadian democracy, and to use the many incidents where Harper has dismissed established precedent, and misused the assets of the Canadian government to support political party purposes.
These are good issues for an election, and tough ones for the Tories to respond to, because the facts of their disregard for our political rights are there for all to see.
Go for it, Michael.
Take him down.
Now.
