Canadian election launched! Voting day is April 28. Whatever you think of Canadian politics, I think we can all agree that an election that’s launched, fought, and finished in only 36 days is a fine thing.
@timbray In terms of hearing election ads on the radio (I don't have traditional tv, thank fuck), shorter is better, sure.
But *slightly* longer, to allow Elections Canada time to ramp up and get properly ready, get the word out, is better. We've very recently seen the result here in Ontario when a short-as-possible election is called in the same year that Elections Ontario was making some changes, and it wasn't good.
