Federal Election Looms


Political mountains may have to move if we're to avoid a spring election.

It appears the government will fall on a Liberal non-confidence motion, chiding the government for showing contempt for Parliament.

Thunder Bay-Rainy River John Rafferty says he's voting in favour of that motion.

"I don't believe this government has been very ethical," says Rafferty. "I certainly don't believe they've been accountable or transparent - two things they campaigned on in the last election and in the election before."

Rafferty doesn't see any last-minute ditch efforts to avoid the inevitable.
