Jack Layton says NO - Canada is to have a federal election ASAP!

"And therefore New Democrats will NOT support the budget as presented." - Jack Layton at 3:44pm CST on CBC radio here in Winnipeg.

So Harpo & Co. here ya go... an election we do have. Good riddance to ya!

Now, if only both the NDP and Liberal opposition parties can keep their eye on the ball and not become distracted by petty things. Gentlemen (and ladies) start your engines!
