No... nice try. ONLY the Prime Minister can dissolve parliament.
Taken from a NY Times piece.
On Sunday, Harper visited Governor General Michaelle Jean and asked her to dissolve Parliament. The governor general is the representative of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, who is Canada's head of state, but the position is purely ceremonial and obeys the wishes of the prime minister.

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Taken from the article...
The rights and freedoms enshrined in the Charter include:
Freedom of expression in section 2 also has a more wide-ranging scope than the First Amendment to the United States Constitution's freedom of speech.
The only difference is that since our Charter of Rights and Freedoms is far more encompassing than your Constitution, often our courts have a decision to make as to which section is to be followed for the betterment of society. Rulings have been made against Hate Speech, and rightfully so, and those rulings cite section 1 which restricts the granted freedoms by making them subject "only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."
Hence we as Canadians do a far better job at balancing positive vs. negative rights.
As for what rights I have... plenty... even more than you do.
I can smoke weed, without fear of getting a criminal record. I could drink at a younger age. Friends who are gay can marry. I can place a wager online without restriction. My government isn't contolled by lobbyists, with political donations being a nominal $1,000 per corporation or individual. I have the right to free healthcare. Yet I also have most of the rights you do.
My rights were given to me by no one, I was born with them, the same as you. For the crowd that was born prior to 1982, they asked for them, and were given them by the British Monarch. Things change, we didn't fight for them in battle like you Americans did, we didn't feel we needed to.
