"It is unclear how much consideration a Governor General or Lieutenant Governor must give to such a request, particularly in the case of a minority government, given the fixed date election law."
I thought that when the PM (or premier) formally asked the GG to drop the writ that they were bound by constitutional convention to do so without question? NorthernThunder ( talk) 01:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
The Governor-General has the option of asking the opposition parties to form a government, either by coalition or a minority government. As for premiers, they make their request to their provincial lieutenant-governor, not the GG. FergusV9S ( talk) 23:26, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
All Municipal Election dates in the country as fixed, thus fixed election dates isn't a new thing in Canada. Maybe this can be incorporated in the article. Bourquie ( talk) 22:43, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
The "Canada" section of the article contains a statement about the amended Canada Elections Act being a "law [that] has yet to be practiced". What is the meaning of the claim, and what is its source? The law is in force; it's "practiced" every day. -- Ħ MIESIANIACAL 02:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Is there any merit to mentioning, in the article, that there is the possibility of simultaneous federal and provincial-territorial elections in 2015? The federal election of 2011 occurred in the spring, but the legislation sets a fall election, which would coincide with the elections in Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.
Therefore, if the schedule is adhered to:
Many municipal elections are held in October and November, depending on provincial legislation.
Harper has speculated about holding the federal election at a different date to avoid this situation, so again, the election may not occur automatically according to legislation, since it would be easier for one jurisdiction to make a change than for six to all make a change.
