Canadian PM to Call Snap Election

James Joyner | September 06, 2008

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper will call early elections to be held on 14 October, a spokesman tells BBC, in what will be the third national election in just over three years. 

A recent poll shows a surge in popularity for Harper, whose Conservative Party  won the 2006 elections but is 28 seats shy of a majority in parliament.
