This article is about how Harper's Conservative government has lost the confidence of the other political parties and how there is going to be a federal election on May 2. Harper finally lost the confidence of the House of Commons on Friday and asked the Governor General David Johnston to dissolve parliament for a general election. Harper believes that most Canadians won't be happy about have an election simply because he doesn't think they want one. This is going to be Canada's fourth election in seven years. All of the other parties believe that it is time for a change because Harper's government isn't doing things in the best interest of Canadian citizens. Liberal leader, Michael Ignatieff, has said that some of the members of the Conservative party have been accused of electoral fraud and stealing money from their clients in their past careers. "Mr. Harper has demonstrated that his Conservatives have really no interest in working with other parties."
I believe that it is a good thing that there is going to be a federal election. The reason for this is that it gives Canada as a country a chance to decide once again who they want to run their country. I don't really have that much of an opinion on which party should win, but the fact is a lot of people want change so an election won't hurt. Everyone knows that the election is pretty much Liberal vs. Conservatives so I guess we'll see what happens in May.
