Description
Over the past few years, Dr. de Clercy and Valere Gaspard have been conducting research on Canadian election spending following the introduction of new pre-election spending regulations for third parties in Canadian federal elections established in 2018, titled, Bill C-76. This summer, Valere spearheaded a research team that was aiming to produce a new study regarding the Americanization of third-party spending in Canada from 2000 onward. After conducting a review of relevant academic literature at the beginning of the summer, it became evident to us there is a lack of research on third-party spending in Canada, especially in relation to the United States. Therefore, this paper intends to identify trends in Canadian third-party spending that are similar to the spending habits of third parties in the United States.
