From my office window, I can see the fireworks down at Ontario Place.

So, I was reading Wikipedia, and came across an interesting point: if Thursday's budget vote had gone the other way, an election would have been called. All Canadians know that part. Here's the interesting part: usually when an election is required, the Prime Minister asks the Governor General to dissolve parliament. But our monarch is in the country, and she outranks the Governor General, so she could have been the one to dissolve parliament.
