| Topic | Election day in Canada |

I know very little about Canadian politics but does the next election have to happen in 2 years or within 4 now?Canadian elections are not on a set schedule, so they can happen whenever (with a maximum interval of four years). Minority governments can, at least in theory, last for the full four-year term, but almost never do, because at some point before that someone will find it convenient to call an election. Either the governing party likes how their poll numbers look and calls an early election to try and secure a majority so they don't have to work with the opposition anymore (which, incidentally, is why yesterday's election happened) or the opposition parties like how *their* poll numbers look and call a vote of no confidence (which, if passed, basically forces the government to dissolve) in the hopes of turfing the governing party and replacing them. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
