At least that election season won't last more than 7 weeks. Instead of this insane 2 year marathon the US has.

Funny, I was watching tv and had a Canadian station on. Every other commercial break was a Pierre Putinfever ad.

In Canada, Elections campaigns can last a MAXIMUM of 50 days.

Somehow, in the past few years, the laws for campaign ads changed (thanks Crtc!) and they no longer fall into the category of a campaign.

And there are newish election laws that set out a 'pre campaign period' that allows further erosion of the campaign time limit restrictions.

That period - anytime after the last election.

Wtf.

2 year marathon is underselling it, I feel like we’ve been in election season since he came down that fucking escalator

We kinda have been. The media has realized how much their viewership (and therefore ratings/money) goes up when they constantly doom and gloom, and that orange fuck has been running a reelection campaign from the moment the previous election was called.
