Changes in technology and media consumption are transforming the way people communicate about politics. Are they also changing the way politicians communicate to the public? Political Communication in Canada examines the way political parties, politicians, interest groups, the media, and citizens are using new tactics, tools, and channels to disseminate information, and also investigates the implications of these changes. Drawing on recent examples, contributors review such things as the branding of the New Democratic Party, how Stephen Harper's image is managed, and politicians' use of Twitter. They also discuss the evolving role of political journalism, including media coverage of politics and how Canadians use the Internet for political discussions. In an era when political communication – from political marketing to citizen journalism – is of vital importance to the workings of government, this timely volume provides insight into the future of Canadian democracy.

In the marketplace of elections, political parties vie to sell candidates, platforms, leaders, and ideas to voters. Since the mid-twentieth century, their strategies have evolved from basic persuasion to a data-driven approach. Marketing the Vote focuses on the dramatic 2025 federal election as a case study to explore what this marketing turn means for partisanship and electoral life in Canada.
While delving into established features of campaign design and implementation – fundraising, candidate recruitment, permanent campaigning – contributors consider such emerging themes as microtargeting, influencer engagement, political merchandising, authenticity, and disinformation. It's now possible to tailor messages to targeted audiences, but these methods invite questions about what is effective and what is honest. Contributors analyze how marketing tools operate, and how they influence electoral outcomes and accountability.
Marketing the Vote is a nuanced, research-based account that gives us a richer understanding of how commercial marketing techniques are transforming elections – and with them, democracy itself.
