Prime Minister Paul Martin goes to Rideau Hall this morning to ask the Governor General to call a general election. Everyone thinks January 23 is a lock but only Martin knows for sure. Martin holds a campaign event in Ottawa early in the evening and then he heads to Montreal by bus where he will spend the night.
Stephen Harper will have something to say about Martin's Rideau Hall visit then he will do a campaign event in Ottawa, kicking off the campaign of Ottawa-West Nepean candidate John Baird. Harper takes his campaign to Quebec City where he will overnight.
NDP Leader Jack Layton starts the day in Ottawa and then heads to his own nomination meeting this meeting in Toronto.
