Fixed election dates are important and not only in other countries. My home province of British Columbia has a fixed election date. We have already had the first election. No one lit his or her hair on fire and it was not the end of the British parliamentary system. There was no chaos in the street. It was, however, something that all parties could plan on, that the population could work around and municipalities could tell what was coming. All in all, it worked very well.

Why, yes, Chuck, astute observations. BC does indeed have fixed election dates. And you were quite correct in pointing out that Premier Gordon Campbell (not considered all that popular in BC) stuck by that fixed election law and, no, it did not signal the end of the British parliamentary system.
No sir. The greatest single threat to the British parliamentary system in Canada is Stephen Harper who violates campaign finance regulations, approves of committee busting tactics, sues the Loyal Opposition for asking legitimate questions and ignores his own fixed-election-date law.
When your Dear Leader makes Gordon Campbell look good, I'd say you have a problem.
As Cathie points out, the one question we should be asking all these Harper fellating assholes is: Why are we having an election now? Or can't you people read?
