After 17 mos., the Canadian Parliament must reshuffle the cards again as Prime Minister Paul Martin and his Liberal Party received a no confidence vote from the other three parties. The vote came after scandal rocked the Liberal Party.

This will be the first holiday election since 1979 and the elections for every member of parliament are expected to be held on Jan. 23rd. The Liberal Party was a fragile minority government.

Martin has had a tough time dealing with Washington first because he opted not to support the Iraq war and second because he pushed through successful gay marriage legislation.
