On Friday March 25, After more than five years as the leader of a minority government, PM Stephen Harper, lost the confidence of Canada's House of Commons. Harper asked Gov. Gen. David Johnston on Saturday March 26 to dissolve Parliament for a General election which will be held on May 2. Stephen Harper is the first Prime Minister in the history of Canada to last as long as he did without losing a vote of Confidence. Harper believes that this election will disappoint most Canadians, as it has disappointed him. I have to agree with what Prime Minister Harper says, because even though I am not old enough for everything the government does to affect me but I think that starting election campaigns is only a waste of Canadians time and money. Harper has been Prime Minister for over five years meaning that he is liked by many of the Canadian citizens. I believe that this election is not going to determine whether there is going to be a change in power, but only whether it will become a majority government or stay a minority government.
