PM Harper visits GG, starts 11-week marathon campaign
Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Aug. 2 kicked off the country’s longest election campaign since 1876, when he submitted a writ of general election to the Governor General — 11 weeks ahead of the Oct. 19 vote.
Canadians will go the polls for the country’s 42nd federal election, in which Harper and his Conservative party will look for a fourth mandate.
Harper is framing the Conservative campaign around Canada’s economy and national security, including the “violent global jihadist movement” represented by ISIS,” Harper said in an Aug. 2 release.
