Liberals and opposition parties disagree over meaning of vote

Canada could have its second election within a year. The Conservative party used a procedural trick to try and force a confidence vote. However, because the voted procedure is simply an instruction to a committee, the government can dodge this with little more than embarassment.

However it is a matter of only days before the Conservatives find a way to force a vote for real. So instead of hockey, Spring will be filled with Canada's second-most watched sport - the hot air olympics!

Americans should consider themselves fortunate that they get a four year break between this stuff - mind you, I guess even that's not so, since there's a Federal election of some sort (be it only congressional and/or senatorial) every two years... plus all those primary campaigns...
