He can't go see the G-G unless his government falls. And if it falls, it will either be with a coalition ready to go (in which case the G-G will select the coalition) or not (in which case there will be another election). Either way, it would appear that he no longer controls the outcome here.
Oh, and remember "fixed election dates" LOL?? Mme Jean may be enough of a lackey that she agreed to the October election (which she didn't have to do) - do you think she's been well-enough paid to grant Harper a second wish contrary to his own lying hypocritical law?
Probably...
Actually Unionist Harper can visit the GG and ask for an election whenever he wishes. He would have to make the case that Parliament is deadlocked and he does not have the confidence of the House. She went for it once, who is to say it wouldn't happen again.
Isn't that what I just finished saying in the portion you quoted?
