Stephen Harper will be announcing a confidence vote on the Afghan mission this Thursday. The actual vote will be taking place sometime in March.
That means it’s all up to everyone’s favourite Liberal leader: Stephane Dion.
According to this article, he’s adamant about ending Canada’s Afghan mission in February 2009, and is definitely not open to extending it at all. This could leave him in an awkward position. It pretty much means that he has to vote against the motion, likely bringing down the government, and forcing an election which he is nowhere near sure of winning.
This is of course why Harper is calling a confidence vote in the first place.
I love politics, don’t you?
