No matter who loses, we win
Governor General Michaelle Jean does the sane, cautious thing and agrees to suspend Parliament rather than dissolve Parliament and force a new election or turn Parliament over to a defeated opposition party, socialists and Quebecists. Congratulations, Stephen Harper, you get to pretend to govern Canada as Prime Minister while not having to face the House upon which your job depends.
If it was good enough for Charles I it is good enough for Canada.
On the minus side, waffling onservative pseudo-government. On the plus side - double plus, actually, I don't have to watch Stephane Dion pretend to be Prime Minister or listen to Annex leftists celebrate yet another repudiation of democracy. Of course, watching our pseudo-conservative government being discomfited would also have been a win or, better yet, to watch our FLQ friendly pseudo-head of state attempt to justify putting French national socialists into power. That could have been epic win. But then I am easy to please and arguably not a good person.
