Tim Houston has called a snap election to be held Nov. 26.

The Progressive Conservative leader is trying to win a second term, despite legislation he personally introduced three years ago that gave Nova Scotia a fixed election date of July 15, 2025.

Somehow governments keep making fixed election date laws that the government is free to ignore.

That's because the so-called "fixed election date" leglisation only circumvents the 5-year limit laid out in the consitution. The federal and provincial Crown representatives retain the ability to call a general election - I don't think that can be changed without an amendment to the constitution, which ain't gonna happen.

It's always been smoke and mirrors.
