I wonder where this protest of the status quo was back in the 90's?

ABC? Meet Elections Canada


Here are a few issues that appear to have been left unexplored for this election campaign in Newfoundland and Labrador:

1. The Canada Elections Act provides restrictions on advertising by third parties. In this case, the Provincial Conservative Party counts as a third party. There are caps, indexed for inflation. There's an excellent summary from Elections Canada as well as a handbook.

2. A third party must apply to Elections Canada and be registered once it has incurred advertising expenses of more than $500. the ABC website would exceed that requirement if assessed at fair market rates for website design.

3. "A third party may not be registered under a name that, in the opinion of the Chief Electoral Officer, is likely to be confused with the name of a candidate, registered party, registered third party or eligible party."

- Progressive Conservative Association of Newfoundland and Labrador

- Conservative Party of Canada

- Progressive Canadian Party.

Go figure if that would count as confusing.

4. As of 2130 hours Newfoundland time on 15 September, the PC Association of Newfoundland and Labrador is not listed on the Elections Canada website as a registered third party.
