Not everyone likes minority Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

[UPDATED SEPTEMBER 11]. Dr. L. Frank Bunting has finally completed his (as it happens very) in-depth look at the inevitably complex question of whether or not there will or even should be yet another Canadian federal election this fall. For his full report CLICK HERE.

For a preview of the three most recent – and somewhat contradictory – opinion polls discussed in Dr. Bunting’s “Waiting for the next Canadian federal election”, see “New poll gives Tories the edge” ; “Conservatives tied with rivals: poll” ; and “Vers des gains libéraux au Québec.” Dr. Bunting’s ultimate advice on the prospect of a fall election at this point can be summarized in three words: “Maybe, maybe not.”

UPDATE: The Counterweights Editors have now prepared a September 11 update of  the Bunting report.  See the Ottawa Scene category to the right, or CLICK HERE to take a look at that. Further updates will be forthcoming – unless what increasingly seems like an unstoppable fire engine is somehow stopped after Parliament returns on September 14 next week.
