The writ still hasn't been drawn up, but the attack ads have begun. (You'll see one bit of Canadiana in that article: "drop the writ". Somebody some time ago heard "draw up the writ" as "drop the writ", and that particular eggcorn has been used in Canada ever since - but only for a writ of election.)
The NDP have released their platform.
For people just tuning in: the Progressive Conservatives (PCs) are the right-wing party, and as of this posting the runaway favourites to win the election. The Liberals are the centrist party (Americans would call them left-wing) and the current government. The New Democratic Party (NDP) are the left-wing (even more so than Bernie Sanders). There's also a Green party; if they do well enough to send even one representative to Queen's Park, I'd be surprised.
