Snap election?

The media is abuzz with the possibility that the Bloc will topple the minority Liberal government over explosive testimony recently given at the Gomery inquiry. The testimony is sealed, but since MPs have legal protection with respect to anything they say in the house of commons, they could bring up the allegations and move a non confidence motion. If the conservatives supported it, there would have to be an election. Is the country ready? Do we want an election? I suppose that depends on how serious this testimony is. If it turns out that Martin was involved in the sponsorship scandal, or that other high profile ministers were, then the Bloc has every reason to pull the trigger and win big in Quebec. But the conservatives need to feel that it will help them in Ontario and the East. If they do, look for them to force the election. Stay tuned...
