In response to "Yes. The first step is the vote of non-confidence on Monday evening. Tuesday, the PM goes to the GG and resigns, asking for an election." by Name Withheld By Request

you think Harper will try an prorogue?

I don't. might delay the outcome, but it'd be political suicide to vanish parliament now.

Responses:

The decision will be made Thursday afternoon, but I'm betting no. I was forwarded an email last night that had an MP giving an assessment. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:09
(and would the GG accept that? be interesting if she said no.) -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 10:09 3
- I would support her if she did. Bad precident to allow PMs to prorouge to avoid a defeat. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:12 2
  - there really no untransparently political moves left for anyone. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:31 1
    - Which is why I'm starting to lean toward, "She's throw it to the voters to decide." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:33
^^ try *and* prorogue^^ -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 10:05
