I think his reasoning is threefold; 1) He doesn't want Canadians to be swept up on Obama love and vote Liberal. 2) He's getting pressure in House to call an election. 3) He wants Stephane Dion's carbon tax to nix the vote for the Liberals. Given enough time and listening to public opinion it would give the Dion the chance to realise this is not the time Canadian's will support paying extra taxes as the economy slides.
