[24 hours left] Will Harper call a spring election?

As September begins, politicians are returning to Ottawa and we’re hearing widespread rumours that Prime Minister Harper might ignore his own fixed election date law again and call a snap election in the spring.

Harper knows that the Opposition parties are getting stronger - but he also knows that he can rely on the Conservative Party’s massive fundraising lead, vote-splitting between the NDP, Liberals and Greens, and redistricted federal ridings that give the Conservatives a new advantage in 2015.[1]

If the rumours are right, here’s what he’d try to do: release a spring budget targeted at likely voters in swing ridings, call a surprise election when students have left campus, and then win a new government before anyone’s ready.

Thanks to you, the Leadnow community can be ready for a spring election, but we need your help.

We’re in the last 24 hours of Leadnow’s Summer Community Fundraiser for a massive people-powered campaign to mobilize hundreds of thousands to vote to hold this government accountable in key ridings - and build support for crucial reforms for our democracy, environment and economy.

Thanks to our monthly donors and the 1,400 people who have already donated this summer, we’ve hired regional organizers and built technology that can support local leaders across the country.

We have major decisions to make in the coming days about where and how to allocate our limited resources to make sure your people-powered election campaign has the strongest, and deepest impact in ridings across the country, and every dollar matters. Every new donation we receive in the next 24 hours will make a real difference as we finalize our plans.

If we all chip in what we can, whether it’s $5, $20, $50 or more, we can have a huge impact together. Click here to donate today.
