It looks as though there will be a non-confidence vote coming up soon (may 16th?) pushed by the bloc and the NDP. The conservatives are sitting on this one, trying to gauge public opinion etc. before deciding which way to go. As of right now, Paul Martin wants the election in 10 months, for the gomery trial to finish first. He feels that the result will be a purge of many Creatin's cronies and more corrupt liberals from his party, leaving him in the clear.

I'm wondering when you guys want the election. Personally, I think that the bloc and NDP pushing the election like this shows they want to ride on the coattails of the scandal. I'd like to wait and see the results of the gomery trial first and see who gets the axe, then head into the election.
