What Happened to our Spring-Summer Election?

The late Right Honorable John Diefenbaker said "Polls are for Dogs". I personally believe they belong in our nation's gentlemen clubs.
Over the past couple of months a trend has been happening. The Conservatives can't get into majority territory with their inability to gain support in urban areas. Now it looks as though that their chances of holding onto to their pathetic minority is in jeopardy. Journalists that predicted a massive majority in the Mulroney and Diefenbaker range, are now retracting their statements.
Their solution. Continue to give the balance of power to a party that's sole mandate is to have Quebec separate from the rest of the country. That way they can continue to bill taxpayers limo rides, challenger jaunts and five star hotel rooms right through to the fall.
Ontario has a fixed date election with a writ dropping shortly after Labour Day Weekend, buying another five weeks of splurging for the Harpocrits. They sure won't mess with voter fatigue in riding rich Ontario, so that means more power for the separatists.
Like a true bully, Harper is a coward. Both Pierre Trudeau and Joe Clark entered into elections down in the polls. Harper clearly sees that his hold on power is fragile, and he is going to milk it for all its worth.

Allow me to paraphrase Dief as well -
polls are for wortheless bastards who have no vision, lie about it and then govern by spending millions on finding the right wording that allows them to get away with stacking the deck one way or another.....kinda like how Conservatives rule in Alberta and where Steve (I can call him Steve) cut his teeth.
