An interesting observation. The campaign brochure for the Conservative candidate in my riding was delivered by Canada Post in the mail Monday morning, less than 24 hours after the writ was dropped.

Given the time and expense involved in printing and mailing these brochures, it seems to me that the candidate must have had a very high degree of certainty regarding the election for some time before it was actually called.

This adds to my conviction that the “10-percent” flyers have been part of a planned pre-election campaign.
