January Election Call Imminent.

Paul Martin's Liberal government was finally ousted in a no-confidence vote last night. More than a month after the Gomery report, Canada's three opposition parties united against his Liberal Party. Martin is expected to seek the dissolution of parliament today and set a date for a general election - thought likely to be 16 or 23 January. This will be one of the longest campaigns in recent history.

Recent polls suggest the Liberals will take most votes in the election - but will still not win a majority.
