Also interesting in this article:

The Tories will wait to call an election in order to gauge their support in Quebec through federal three byelections, said a report published Wednesday in Montreal La Presse.

Two ridings -- one in Montreal and one east of the city -- are currently vacant. Another riding in the Lac St-Jean region, north of Quebec City, will open up in June when Bloc Quebecois MP Michel Gauthier steps down.

From the article.

Dion reacted skeptically to a newspaper report suggesting Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government will wait until 2008 to call an election.

"I'll believe it when Mr. Harper stops making attack ads against me, or when he doesn't provoke a confidence vote by presenting to us a bill he knows is unacceptable to the three opposition parties.''

Which bill is this?

Seems like Dion is hoping for an election.

The Liberals whining about the Conservatives forcing an election in 2006 didn't work very well.

I can't imagine why. Dion is less popular than a fart in an elevator in Quebec...in Ontario no one reallt cares about him, and out west? Dion, quite franky, will have done quite well after the next election if he continues to lead the other side of the House. I fear the next election could see the liberals collapse and the BQ will once again form her majesty's loyal oppostion.....
