2021 federal election

I don't care about the Conservatives and am still pissed off at Trudeau for his betrayal on electoral reform.

He couldn’t even be bothered to amend the law setting the election date. If he wanted to have an early election he should have amended the law, and I’m leaning towards the view that the Governor General should have told him to do so if he wanted an early election. I understand that the Governor General doesn’t make the decisions (and shouldn’t, generally, not being elected), but the whole point of the election law is that the Prime Minister doesn’t make the decision either: it’s scheduled.
