Harper was just trying to get a budget passed when he prorogued parliament. Michael Ignatiuf was determined to to stop the conservatives from governing and nothing else, even if tax dollars were being wasted with an election that had just happend. This is why after the conservatives gained a majority the west was an economic power house that pulled out of the recession caused by the 08 recession. Our dollar was higher than the American's for crying out loud. Then oil took a dive, Trudeau got elected and placed restrictive policies for projects and now we I the west are living in border line poverty. To get back on track here, Trudeau in comparison is proroging parliament to avoid criminating evidence provided by commities from coming out before the election. He knows it's only a matter of time before Erin otoole wins. What otoole doesnt have is celebrity. He doesn't really have any major exchanges in video clips like poilievre to rally voters. So by Trudeau calling a non confidence vote on himself before the conservatives are ready is really just a cheap tactic to stay in power. No one really wants him in power and he knows it, so he's cheating to give himself the best chance of holding power. Everything he does is unethical and it wouldnt suprise me if more gates get rammed to have a chat with him and Sophie...
