With the recent election in Quebec and the new one in Ontario we should should have fixed date elections like our municipalities and do away with elections called by the political monarch (PM or Premier) or by confidence votes. Have federal and provincial elections every 4 years. A federal election in 2015 and every 4 years after and provincial elections in 2017 and every 4 years after. Municipal elections to be held only in even numbered years. A set election date of the last Monday in October.
