` :::When writing about a future SCHEDULED event, such as this year's Canadian Election, one has to make the assumption that everything will go as normal. It has to be assumed that there will NOT be a declaration of war or a zombie invasion or a terrorist attack that would upend the system. If there is a consensus in the ``real world`` that something must happen by a certain date, then Wikipedia must reflect that. The Democratic National committee is within it's rights to cancel next year's convention and declare Hillary to be the nominee if it wants. Will it? NO!!!!!!  The disruption that a gratuitous repeal of the fixed election act by Parliament months or weeks before a scheduled dissolution would have been enormous. There is a reasonableness test that must be applied, and barring the zombies, delaying the election into 2016 or later fails.  `
