The Harper government, which introduced the fixed-date election legislation, says it will ask the governor general to dissolve the House, if things are not to its liking on March 1.
This fixed-date election idea betrayed a profound lack of understanding of how parliaments should operate. I'm glad to see it undermined. But you would think the people who said it was a great democratic advance, a no-brainer and all, might try to live by it.
