Trudeau calls an election himself, he looses.

Trudeau waits until spring when CERB tax bills come due, he looses.

Trudeau goads the opposition into forcing an election, he wins.

Optics and timing are everything right now. Trudeau wants an election where he can blame the “evil conservatives” for putting voters lives at risk. He does not want to call it himself because the that same blame gets focused on him. And if there is no election, then we find out more about the WE charity, we get to see a spring budget, and CERB recipients find out that it’s taxable income.
