OTTAWA, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Canada's Liberal Party said Thursday they are ready for an election, after Prime Minister Stephen Harper had threatened to dissolve the parliament earlier this week.

    "We're ready. We're well organized and we're determined to win this election," Liberal leader Stephane Dion told reporters at a news conference in Montreal.

    Harper said Tuesday that he was considering calling an early election before the parliament's next session resumes on Sept. 15.An election is a reality, and not a choice under current circumstances, he said.

    Harper accused the oppositions of refusing to cooperate with his government in the parliament. All three opposition parties now want an election and would not fell surprised if he calls one, he said.

    On Tuesday Harper canceled the Governor General's planned trip to the Beijing Paralympic Games, prompting speculations that he is going to pull the plug on his government in short time.

    Senior Conservative members have expected Harper to drop the election writ between Sept. 2 and Sept. 7, one day ahead of three scheduled by elections.

    The oppositions disagree with the Conservatives on economy, climate change and other major issues. Harper said the Liberals "have tabled an economic agenda that stands diametrically opposed to everything this government stands for."

    The Liberals are the only group to stand the chance of replacing the Conservatives as ruling party. Recent polls have put both parties at a tie, with neither of which getting the 40 percent support rate needed to garner a majority government.

    The minority Conservative government came to power after winning the January 2006 election over the Liberals, who had been ruling the country for a consecutive 12 years.
