With a federal election call probably in a matter of days, no political party has nominated the candidates at 343 walks, with the liberals of Prime Minister Mark Carney behind all other national parties.
The conservatives lead the pack, with 258 of 343 cables full from last week.
The NDP is second, with 217 candidates ready as of Tuesday.
Third, the Green Party has nominated 208 candidates.
The Liberal Party is in 185.
The main correspondent of CBC News, Adrienne Arsenault and the Power & Politics presenter, David Cochrane, discuss the potential moment of a Canadian election, which would probably be April 28 or May 5.
The Québécois block, which only executes candidates in Quebec, has names for 53 of the 78 cables of the province. Although only 11 were officially nominated until Tuesday, the party indicates that 29 of its 33 current parliamentarians have announced that they plan to work again, and another 16 people have been announced as candidates.
“It is important to remember that the liberals have just passed through a leadership campaign and many parliamentarians, before the liberal leadership contest and before the resignation of Mr. Trudeau, they were clearly dissatisfied with their leader and some threatened to go out the door,” said Cristine de Clercy, professor of Political Science at the University of Trent.
De Clercy said that the new leadership of Carney, along with the growing fortune for liberals in surveys, can change the calculation for some potential candidates.
“It is difficult to recruit candidates when you are not sure whether the holder leaves or not,” he said.
But as it seemed that Carney would win the leadership career, some headlines that had previously announced that they were not executing a changed course, such as the Minister of Industry, Anita Anand and Saint John-Rothesay MP Wayne Long.
Even so, Melanee Thomas, a professor of political science at the University of Calgary, said that the number of liberal nominees is unusually low so close to a campaign.
“It’s almost half of the candidates they need,” he said. “That has to get there before they drop writing.”
Thomas, who ran for the NDP in 2004 and 2006 under Jack Layton, also said that it is little surprise that conservatives are ahead of all others.
“They have been agitated by an election for months,” he said.
De Clercy agreed, saying that conservatives “are clearly in the ball.”
Thomas said that parties that are concerned with meeting gender and diversity quotas to better represent Canadian demographic data tend to have longer nomination periods. She pointed out that the constitution of the NDP had such obligations.
Little time to investigate before the SNAP choice
Both Thomas and Clercy said that a danger to all parties is investigating candidates too fast.
De Clercy said there is a risk that candidates have made online publications, which potentially date back to when they were teenagers, that could become a problem for the party if they were going to resurface during the campaign.
Hurrying to fill the vacant points “leaves the games and candidates vulnerable to glasses,” Thomas agreed.
Although Parliament is officially porogated until March 24, Carney is an un chosen prime minister, without a seat in the house.
Since their victory in the liberal leadership career last week, many senior elected officials have said that Canadians need a government with a strong mandate to lead the country in the midst of economic threats represented by the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
“The prime minister is committed to the electoral process,” Anand told CBC’s Power and politics Host David Cochrane on Monday.
“I know that Prime Minister would like to have a seat in the House of Commons, and we would like to see him sitting there as the prime minister of this country,” he said.
The opposition parties have threatened to vote to the liberal government in a motion of non -awareness if the Parliament resumes before an election.
