WORLD NEWS / CANADA ELECTION NEWS - After consulting with Governor-General David Johnston, Queen Elizabeth's II representative in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced today to dissolve Canadian parliament. It is noted that Mr. minority Conservative government was defeated in a confidence vote in this week.
In his appeal to Canadian people he asked people to vote judiciously and not to choose a “reckless” coalition to replace his government.
In this week, there were lots of brawl including rancorous debate and finally it was time for the formality of launching an election campaign.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper met the governor-general's residence in Ottawa in the afternoon and discussed with him about the dissolving the parliament. Later on while addressing reporters he said voters had a choice between his party forming a stable majority government or choose hasty opposition coalition.
"You don't try and form a government if you lost the election," he said.
"If Canadians vote for the other party, even by a minority - you respect that judgment."
The leader of opposition Liberal party, Michael Ignatieff who is renowned Canadian author and historian said his party would not form any coalition with other small parties.
He further added that the main issues were now trust and accountability as the chief Conservative being found in contempt of parliament.
