I don't know anything about the legality of campaigning and whatnot in Canada, if there's an official start date that has to be declared before the hubbub can start but I just saw a commercial supporting Stephen Harper on the teevee.

It's been all but declared that there will be an election called next week, with the vote being October 14th (srsly, my American friends. A little over a month for the whole thing to start and end) but nothing's been officially stated yet. So when I saw the commercial (with the end having a 'supporter' of Harper saying- I'm going to vote for him!) I was quite taken aback, because I was sure I hadn't missed the election call.

Anyone know if there's any actual wrong doing with airing these sorts of ads previous to an election call or if it's just taboo, or none of the above?

Also, it is 8 C here right now. :( And raining. WHERE DID SUMMER GO?!
