The election featured is in part a parody of the 2008 Canadian federal election. The six-part series premiered January 5, 2014 on CBC Television and concluded its run on February 3, 2014.[2] PlotWhen Daniel catches his girlfriend (Sarah Allen), also a political staffer, and her boss in flagrante delicto he decides to flee political life and return to academe as assistant professor of English at the University of Ottawa. But it turns out that a life in politics is a bit like life in the mob – you just don’t walk away. For Daniel, the cost of exit is that he must find a candidate in a small riding 50 kilometers away and manage the campaign in the quickly approaching election. The catch: the riding in question has voted solidly for the governing party in every single election since Confederation and the incumbent is Eric Cameron (Peter Keleghan), the extremely popular finance minister whose approval rating in the last election was over 90%.[3] Daniel's plan, therefore, is to select the seemingly unelectable Angus McClintock (Kenneth Welsh) in order to kill off his own credibility as a political strategist — as the campaign progresses, however, McClintock's unconventional attitude begins to strike a chord with voters, and Daniel's campaign to lose becomes increasingly difficult. The show's cast also includes Raoul Bhaneja, Eric Peterson, Sonja Smits, Jodi Balfour, Barbara Gordon, Jordan Johnson-Hinds, Varun Saranga, Ron Lea, and Leah Pinsent.[3] ProductionProduction on the series began in summer 2013.[4] Some scenes were filmed on Parliament Hill during Parliament's summer recess.[4] The series was written by Susan Coyne and Jason Sherman,[3] and is produced by Phyllis Platt, Brian Dennis and Peter Moss of PDM Entertainment. AwardsThe series won 3 2014 Directors Guild of Canada Awards: Best Television Movie/Mini-Series, Best Picture Editing - Television Movie/Mini-Series, Best Sound Editing - Television Movie/Mini-Series.[5] References 1. ^Scott Stinson, [https://archive.is/20140106153932/http://arts.nationalpost.com/2014/01/01/stinson-the-cbcs-best-laid-plans-is-a-backroom-at-the-top/ "The CBC’s Best Laid Plans is a backroom at the top"].
