Story here.
OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper has warned Liberal Leader Stephane Dion that the Conservative government is prepared to go to the electorate as early as next week to seek a mandate to extend the military mission in Afghanistan, CTV News has learned.
(...)
Sources say Harper told the Liberal leader the government will give notice on Thursday to present a confidence motion on extending the military mission in Afghanistan. That motion could be debated and possibly voted on as early as next week.

The Liberal party is deeply divided over the issue, with many members siding with former Liberal deputy prime minister John Manley and others supporting Dion, who wants all combat operations to end after 2009.
"Leader" Dion refuses a free vote for his caucus on this important issue, planning to whip the vote and impose his (or is it the ideology of radical/extremist elements within the Liberal Party, and who helped get Dion himself elected?) ideology upon his MPs.
Well, we're ready to stand up for what's right. Will the Liberals stand up one way or another... or will they continue to sit on the pot?
It's your move, Liberals...
