Bring on the reactors.

And even more ideally, enriching fuel domestically.

A snap election could happen at any time, so he doesn’t really get that relief. At any point the PM can advise the GG to dissolve Parliament and call an election, subject only to the legally required 37 to 51 day election period.

It’s actually a pleasant surprise that PM Carney has not called one in an effort to get a rock solid majority and reset the four year clock.

PMMC is too smart to waste his momentum and opportunity on a silly game like that. The CPC are going to keep his government trucking along even if he didn't have a majority.

If you're surprised by him acting this way, I suspect you're far more of a partisan hack than you admit to being on this site. The only people wishing for an election after the last one are diehard LPC supporters and wack-job CPC supporters who don't trust polls.

Silly game? He has a razor thin majority, very subject to any number of things that can shave it. He’s also subject to having to manage his own caucus and keep any dissenters in line. He’s inherited and is trying to bend to his own will a party that’s been governing for a decade; he’s disrupting its own entrenched power dynamics and factions and aiming to supplant them with his own. Wanting to potentially nip that would not be a ‘silly game’. Nor would be silencing all the dumb voices about a ‘false majority’ or what have you.

I agree with his course of action. I’m pleasantly surprised that he didn’t bend more than he has to the politically rational advice of the many people surrounding him, many of whom I’m sure have urged him to consider it. Calling an election to reaffirm his mandate would have been rational and defensible.

If you're surprised by him acting this way, I suspect you're far more of a partisan hack than you admit to being on this site. The only people wishing for an election after the last one are diehard LPC supporters and wack-job CPC supporters who don't trust polls.

Why are you making this personal? I have no party affiliation. My voting record supports that. Had JT remained in charge of the Liberals I was happy to help change that diaper.

I’m not one of those wishing for an election, I’ve simply outlined a number of reasons that it would have been a (not the only) reasonable course of action in his shoes. Taking a shot at me as a ‘partisan hack’ is uncalled for and frankly should be beneath you.
