This is hilarious: Tories would love to force an election, but their law forbids it.
Basically, the Tories want an election. But they passed a law early on mandating fixed election dates. So they can't dissolve parliament. Only a non-confidence vote can call an early election.
So instead, they're holding parliamentary committees at a standstill. And generally making life difficult on Parliament Hill. Because they need an excuse, or to try to goad the Liberals into calling an election for them.
In essence, then, one of the most powerful political tools in federal politics -- the power to choose the timing of an election -- has been willingly handed over to the official opposition.

right now I am building across the street from those commercial buildings. right now the HSBC and I think the walmart or home depot is being built. I was under the impression that is was supposed to be a self contained communty for all of the windermere developments. A sort of large strip mall. (possibly to keep traffic down) It is deffinatly walking distance for the ambelside on windermere residents, but the other two (north, and upper windermere) are on the other side of terwilliger drive, which is having another two lanes added, bringing the total up to 4 lanes of 70 km/h traffic. not very pedestrian freindly in my opinion. It'll be an interesting setup once everything is done. There will be the bungalows I'm bulding going for 700 grand I'm told through lower income high density housing right down the street. any and everyone will be living there. i wonder if everyone will get along.... It'll be a busy place this summer for sure for builders if nothing else.
