My Definitive Election Prediction

Speculation about the timing of the next Federal Election still remains the "activity du jour" in Ottawa. On somedays the speculation is more rampant than on others, especially when poll results are released ... but the guessing game continues to bubble away in the cauldron of "informed prognostication."

The concensus from the ink stained wretches, pollsters, bloggers, broadcasters, et al; seems to be that the election will be this spring; unless of course it is moved to this fall; but the Ontario Provincial elections might squeeze it to next spring; which of course may not be possible if Mr. Harper experiences a dip in the poles.

Then of course everything could change in a New York minute if Dionmania were to suddenly sweep Canada; or Duceppe suddenly becomes a Monarchist or Jack Layton crosses the floor to become a member of the Green Party ... but there is one thing which everyone agrees upon, and that is that the election may or may not happen in 2008.

So let me clear up all of this confusion by giving you my definitive election prediction. If you understand the next two facts, then you will also know the election date.

1. Sheep mate in the fall and they are sheared in the spring.
2. The year of the next election will have two zeros in it

I'm glad that I was able to clear this up for you.
