The longest minority government in Canada’s history is about to end, with Prime Minister Steven Harper’s expected election call keeping Ottawa on the edge of its over-stuffed seat. Parliament is in summer recess, due to reconvene September 15. Four byelections are coming up soon, all in Ontario and Quebec, with three slated to take place [...]
