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.
Doug got in to replace Patrick Brown pretty late in the game after CTV reported that Brown was a creep with young (but later turned out to be legal age) women at bars in Barrie and a snap leadership race stuck us with him. I just looked it up again and he was leader for about three months before the Provincial election, Del Duca was around for two years.
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.

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

Name recognition with Doug was incredibly high. To this day, who the hell is Del Duca anyway?
Mayor of Vaughan but I get your point
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
