The Canadian Federal Election of 2025, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In this compelling, clear-eyed analysis Jon Pammett and Christopher Dornan bring together Canada's leading political scientists, pollsters, and journalists to investigate the surprising federal election that upended everyone's expectations.

First looking at how political parties ran their campaigns -- examining strategy and tactics, candidate selection, advertising, and responses to key campaign moments -- The Canadian Federal Election of 2025 then widens the lens to offer an extensive account of media coverage and public opinion polling. Among the book's distinctive features is an appraisal of the external influences and disinformation efforts targeting Canadian elections generally, along with an assessment of the changes to electoral rules and legislation that have occurred over the past decade. Rich survey data also sheds light on public attitudes and voting behaviour, the forces that in many ways shaped the election's outcome. In lucid, accessible prose, contributors place the campaign in its broader political context while assessing the role of media and polling during the campaign, taking pains to consider what the results might mean for future elections.

A timely and essential read for anyone looking to make sense of a unexpected moment in Canadian history, this authoritative guide offers audiences a front-row view of Canadian politics.
