Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff acknowledges a standing ovation during a party rally Sept. 1, 2009 in Sudbury. Earlier in the day, Ignatieff told his caucus the party was withdrawing its support for the Conservatives in the Commons. CHRIS WATTIE/REUTERSFrom The Toronto Star:

My Comment: I guess seeing all the pork that Conservatives have been getting from the Harper Government over the summer months was too much for some in the Liberal Party who believe that it belongs to them. Hence .... we are heading for an election.
This is probably a smart move on the part of the Liberals. The economy is improving, and the coming months will involve international summits and the Vancouver Olympics .... all events that will be used as a showcase by the Conservatives and Stephen Harper.
The problem that the Liberals have is .... what is the issue that they are going to run on? More UI? High speed trains? Global warming after a summer that was "frigging" cold. Higher taxes to curb the deficit spending and the spending that they want to do? Power for the sake of power?
All of these issues are not positive issues for the voters.
