It seems like a good time to repeat how thankful I am that the entire Canadian federal election process has a campaign period that’s at least 36 days and no more than 50 days.
That’s it.
With strict spending limits.
And every single time, that ends up seeming long and expensive to me.

What a good idea.
The duopoly would never consider this of course.
Mind you 🤔 we know who he is and what his platform is.
Hard to do a 180 now 🤪
From attack dog teeth bared vs no-longer-in-the-race Trudeau to Mr Smiling Nice - teeth still bared.
I will never forgive him for siding with "Freedom Convoy" & Trump.
We also don't vote directly for our head of state. We vote for a partys local rep, the party whose local reps win the most seats choses thier leader and they become head of state. Our "vote weighting" system needs work. It's not a perfect system, but it's not bad either.
And it happens fairly often.

~shorten the campaign season to no more than 11 months before an election;
~make it illegal for politicians to collect campaign donations at any other time outside those months.
~require funds be SPENT within 3 months afterwards.

You.
So that won’t work in the good old corrupt USofA.
I wish this "no more than 50 days" would apply to that shit.
