We ripped off our political system from England pretty much wholesale, so our campaigns are pretty short, too, usually less than two months. A lot of Canadians think that campaigns must be less than two months, though that isn't the case. There's the potential for a campaign to last as long as twelve months, but I don't think that's ever happened. At this point, Canadians would be wondering what kind of work ethic politicians have if they can spend that much time on a campaign, and where they're getting their money from.
To be fair, though, you guys have a population ten times as large as ours, and more than five times the size of England, so it must be much harder to do things quickly.
