Here's the kicker, it's actually going to cost taxpayers more for this long campaign since the parties will be spending more.

The whole reason for the early call is to maximize their spending advantage. The whole reason parties get more money for each day of campaign length is Harper put that in the "Fair Elections" act - parties couldn't do this in previous elections. This has been planned for over a year and for them to suggest they were forced into it is complete and utter B.S.
Sadly as other posters have said this is inside baseball and the average voter doesn't care.
