There was rejoicing when the Tories' legislation mandating fixed election dates was passed- so much so that no one noticed the escape hatch: although the new law removed the Prime Minister's power to call an election, the Governor-General's power to dissolve Parliament is in the Constitution-and no one wanted to open that, lest a thousand other issues crowd in through the breach.

So the Governor-General (we are told) is about to call an election. But remember, the G-G only acts on the PM's "advice" (read: "orders"). Not since the 1926 King-Byng dispute has a Governor-General resisted the advice of a Prime Minister.

It would be interesting-oh, much more than merely "interesting"!-if Michaëlle Jean were to look Stephen Harper in the eye and say, "Every bill you've brought into Parliament has passed. How can you call that 'dysfunctional'? Please get back to work."

But there's not much likelihood of that happening. So we'll have an election nobody, but the PM, wants.

However, that election can provide an opportunity for Canada's pro-moralist forces to make their voices heard. But there are some things we must do to make that happen.

First, Canadians will have to stop voting "strategically": we should vote on principle, and accept that the outcome of the election is up to God.

That means we must stop hoping that the Tories - defenders of the abortion industry and same-sex "marriage"- have a secret agenda which they'll reveal if and when they get a majority. Even if that were true—which I doubt—it would mean that they're being deceitful, hardly a basis for continuing to support them!

It's better to take them at their word: the PM has said he'll use his influence to ensure that no legislation on abortion comes into Parliament; the Justice Minister has said his government will not reopen the abortion issue.

Second, we have to start accepting limited "victories" instead of expecting a massive social upheaval. There aren't yet enough candidates running for the CHP-Canada's only pro-life, pro-family federal party-to form a government, even if they all won. But, if there is a significant move of voter support away from the Stéphane's Liberals and Stephen's "Liberal Lite"-the Tweedledum and Tweedledee of Canadian politics-towards the only principled, pro-moral, federal voice, it will start a trend that could, in time, turn this nation around.

That's worth working for, voting for, and supporting.
