Dear Stephen Harper

Hey there, it’s me, Lisa, from the 680 News Morning Show. I wrote to you a couple of times before regarding a rescue and a few other things involving animals.  You wrote back!  Good on ya, Sir. 

Now I need a favour, please. You’re making it awfully clear that you want an election this fall. You have a minority government that’s being hampered – or looks like it will – by a lack of support from the other parties. You’ve said it aloud a few times and now you’ve asked the Governor General to stay home next week so she can, ostensibly, dissolve parliament and get the campaign officially underway.

I beg of you Mr. Prime Minister, don’t do it.  You see, one of the things I was happiest about with my pending departure from 680 News was that I would never have to cover a federal election again, 680 style!  I laughed maniacally, gloated even, that my colleagues would be mired in the November US election while I would be…well…that’s still not certain. But now you’re making a mockery of my fondest news wish!  And my colleagues are positively torturing me about it!

So, hey, just get back to work as usual and put all this election, e-schm-ection stuff on the back burner for a while, ok?  Do a gal a favour! Be a pal!  I’ve done lots of things for you, like paid my taxes and not killed anyone. So, it’s time for payback.  Thank you!

Warm regards,

Lisa
