    Yea, pretty much every election up here in Canada.

    I’m amazed that Americans think four months “is like literally no time”.

    It’d take an ad spend but the DNC could name recognition pretty much anyone at this point.

      The elections are short, but we’ve known the candidates a long time. De Dluca was elected leader shortly before the election and no one knew who he was and he totally tanked.

      *see, I even got his name wrong. Del Duca.

      You don’t elect a chief executive in Canada the way we do in the U.S.

      You can’t compare a parliamentary election to our constitutional presidential republic’s elections.

      *4 weeks, bud

      The convention is in 4 weeks. Mail-in-ballots get sent out at the end of September.

      There’s a lot of misinformation being shared due to the lack of proper context. Yes, the election is in November but it’s not that simple

      Honestly, if we ever think something is simple, we should pretty much assume we don’t know wtf we’re talking about
