Tories threaten to shoot themselves in the foot

Fresh this evening, from the Globe and Mail comes news that Stephen Harper is threatening a fall election because of investigations by the House of Commons ethics committee, over the Conservative Party's funky cash transactions during the 2006 election campaign. Currently, the Liberal party is a couple points up over the Tories, but I wonder how much things would shift in favour of the Libs if this news is spread further about. If the Tories keep causing trouble for the committee's hearings, and Harper calls an election, they'll most likely be shooting themselves in the foot.

And I'd love to see that. The sooner those fascists are out of power, the better for all of Canada.
