P rime Minister Stephen Harper dared opposition parties on Saturday-- namely Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff--to topple the Conservative minority government, arguing it will trigger an election Canadians don't want and leave voters with a stark choice at the ballot box. "Let the opposition parties threaten to get together to defeat us and replace us," Harper told about 800 Conservative supporters during a barbecue at Heritage Park. "Canadians have been clear that they do not want another election." Harper and Ignatieff, both in Calgary for Stampede events, have been engaging in electoral brinkmanship for weeks, with the Liberals threatening to defeat the government over issues such as fiscal management and employment insurance eligibility requirements.
