He couldn’t even be bothered to amend the law setting the election date.
That law really is pointless (and toothless). It has a massive loophole in that the GG can dissolve the parliament at any time -- and of course the prime minister is able to ask the GG to do that.
Harper's government passed the law in 2006 ... and in 2008 he asked the GG to dissolve the parliament and call an early election.
I don't know whether the loophole was intentional or due to massive incompetence, but I suspect the former.
