BURLINGTON, ON

 

And they are off!

The Prime Minister met with the Governor General this morning and she granted his request that the 43rd session of Parliament be dissolved and a federal election take place on September 20th, this despite voting with in May with nearly all MPs against a pandemic election saying at the time “nobody wants an election before the end of this pandemic.”

The Gazette now has a team that will cover the election in a way we have not been able to do in the past.

Contributing editor Ray Rivers will comment regularly on how the election campaign plays out while Ryan O’Dowd and Max Bowder will be in the field covering candidates from at least four political parties in the three constituencies that make up Burlington.

Prime Minister takes the family to ask the Governor General to dissolve Parliament. How could she say no to the wife and kids?

The Prime Minister wants a majority – does his political career came to a close if her doesn’t get one? And who would replace him?

Big questions, big issues.
