POLL: NDP candidate questions potential early election call
The Federal NDP candidate for the Prince Albert riding says he is ready to go should an election be called this weekend.
The election campaign is expected to get underway Sunday when sources say Stephen Harper is expected to visit the governor general.
If called Sunday, the campaign will be one of the longest and costliest in recent Canadian political history.
“Certainly it is to the advantage of the Conservatives if they call it early because they’ve got the most money,” said Lon Borgerson. “Normally the campaign is 37 days so any day beyond that 37 days you get to spend one – 37th more.”
