78 days, among longest in Canadian history — will actually cost Canadians more money for a few reasons. First, Elections Canada will have to ramp up its operation. The federal agency estimates that a typical 37-day campaign costs roughly $375 million.Aug 2, 2015

Heck. Just a TV political commercial during a Presidential Campaign in the USA can cost about 2 million dollars. Still cheaper than a Superbowl commercial though.

It is just so sad to see the many many millions of dollars wasted on a two year election that would have accomplished the same results in 6 months, if you really need that amount of time to pick the next Pres. The US spends way too much time and resources trying to dig up dirt on presidential hopefuls. A lot of good would be presidents won't even try to enter the race because of some minor mistake they made in their misspent youth. Your loss. The US has the craziest electoral system in the whole wide world. We Canadians have always been behind you like a brother but it is starting to become an embarrassment with all the silly crap that is going on over their.

Well. Good or bad, we still like it our way. We generally fix our problems. Sometimes slow. Sometimes fast.

C'mon fellow Canadians, you have to admit that the US does provide us with some of the best "entertainment" every couple of years... and this year's offering has raised (lowered???) the bar to a new level... eh?

You could build a pretty big wall with that money.
