lol well basically here, we've had minority governments for the past few years. Jean Chretien stepped down and Paul Martin became Prime Minister but with close votes, he only had a minority government. That means when there's some unrest with the opposition in parlaiment, another election can be called before the term is up. There was a lot of stuff going on with the liberal party back then, with corruption and money stealing, and he just couldn't handle all the flack his party was getting. So 2 years ago another election was called, and the Conservatives won by just a margin, so they are another minority government. The opposition leaders have been disagreeing with how Harper is running the country, so it's time to vote again.
Basically, when the other parties think the pm is doing a bad job, there is the option for another election.
However, I think he's doing a good job, and the Liberal party is talking about bringing in a carbon tax thing which will screw over my province So I'm definitely voting to keep him!
