What will really surprise Americans about our Candadian Federal Election - the Election was announced August 15 and we go to the polls September 20. A month of campaigning is all they get!

The UK has twice the population of Canada - still does it in 25 working days once they call the election. I'm quite willing to extend a bit to incorporate the primary season, but our election process is overly long and drawn out and requires too much money. It badly needs reform. There's no reason it can't be completed within 3 months other than lack of political will to reform the system.Yes, well, note that the entirety of Canada has the population of... California. About 11% of the US population.
It is not clear that such speed is possible or desirable when you scale the population up that much.
