| Description | Conservative Leader Stephen Harper kicked off the country's 41st election campaign Saturday morning, framing the vote set for May 2 as a choice about who is best suited to lead Canada while the global economy's recovery is still fragile.
He emerged from Rideau Hall, the official residence of Governor-General David Johnston, at 9:15 a.m. ET to announce the coming vote after Mr. Johnston granted his request to dissolve Parliament and call an election.
The Tory Leader attacked his political rivals for toppling his government and accused them of plotting to form a coalition to replace him which he said would be a danger to the economy and the country.
“Let me be perfectly clear: unless Canadians elect a stable national majority government, Michael Ignatieff will form a coalition with the NDP and Bloc Québécois,” he said. |
