    There’s always a risk of being punished for calling self-serving premature election. It doesn’t appear likely at the moment but who knows how people would react.

      Exactly. An election now could bite Carney in the ass big time, leaving him with fewer MPs than he started with in the first place.

      If I were him I’d shut that idea down in a heartbeat.

        I wouldn’t say no. More dependence on the NDP+BQ ain’t bad.

        They could torpedo the NDP leadership elec if they call one before it’s done though. I imagine Heather would have to campaign. Poobably Avi and Rob too.
