Canada officially kicked off its campaign season last Wednesday — and elections will be over by the end of October. Here's how they elect a prime minister and Parliament.
Canada's election sprint has begun, with six whirlwind weeks of nationwide campaigning before voters decide on Oct. 21 whether Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will get a second mandate.
The largest regional party is a separatist party in French-speaking Quebec, the Bloc Québécois, which is a player in numerous local races and has frequently won a majority of the province’s seats. Several times during the campaign, party leaders will meet for televised debates in English and French. Aside from the usual stump speeches, rallies and political ads, the campaign also has a significant focus on policy. National parties will make platform announcements on almost a daily basis, and they'll cap things off closer to the Oct. 21 vote by releasing a full platform that lists anticipated costs of their various policy pledges.
If the victorious party wins a clear majority of seats, things are much more clean-cut. That party will have a clear mandate to control the executive branch, the cabinet and the federal departments, and also have a much easier time passing legislation.in 2015. Canada's elections have produced majority governments in slightly more than half of all contests since the 1960s.
