The year is 2024. Canadian political parties has collapsed. The last elections were a complete mess rife with sabotage, cheating, recounts, bribes and even a murder. The end result was highly contested. The Prime Minister of the last 4 years accomplished nothing except to expose that the other major Canadian parties have been working as one for many decades and only showing a two sided face to the nation to keep up the appearance of democracy. The public has turned away from the major parties and now looks to the smaller parties for a new hope for Canada. For the first time in centuries the voter turnout is expected to reach over 95%. This makes most old truths about which province is conservative or liberal or pro life or pro choice or any other old definition pretty much mute, with so many new voters it is almost impossible to know how which province will lean.
You have a home province.
You have a core political following in your home province from which build your candidacy.
And you have the Million Dollars that the government handed you to help you start your campaign.
And you have your most important asset: Your Time.
Every turn, you can spend your time doing two things: Raising money for your campaign or Getting the people to Vote for you.
And you can also spend any amount of your saved up money on TV adds, Newspaper spreads/stories or any other way you can come up with to get the people of a province to vote for you.
Every province has a pool of undecided voters that you need to convince to vote for you. And then there are ones that have already made up their mind who you can try to win over.

1st place = gain 12 points
2nd place = gain 6 pints
3rd place = gain 3 points
taken from undecideds unless there are no more left, then split equally from all other (non winning)candidates (each looses same # of points).
Money Spent in a province:
1st place = gain 30% of your current points in the province
2nd place = gain 15% of your current points in the province
taken from all categories fairly (each looses same fraction of their points)
Visiting a state that you already control doesn't give you much, but visiting one you don't have any following in will give you a good boost there.
Spending money in a state you do not have any followers in will get you nothing. spending money in a state you have a good presence in will give you biggest value for you money.
