Canada Calls Snap Elections

Here and here.

Here is his political calculus in calling snap elections:

• If Obama wins, Canadians will favor someone who is closer ideologically to the new president.
• If the sick old man wins, then Canadians will want someone who will do their best to oppose 4 more years of Bush and His Evil Minions^™ without the military restraint.

Thus holding Canadian elections after the US election is simply a losing proposition.

I hope that this doesn't work for Harper, because he really wants go with Bushonomics, and we can say "buh-bye" to the best health care system in North America if he wins another term.
