I haven't seen any Presidential election commercials. I don't know if they are shown here. It might have something to do with Can. Con. laws or other legals issues.
Do you get the CBC, that's the best station to find our election commercials on. You might not get them because there are legal issue surrounding what commercials the US and Canada can pick up.
Can anyone else shed some more light on this?

As far as being respectful, I attended the University of Alaska, where there is a Canadian Studies program (they always advertised with William Shattner?), and most of the hockey team was Canadian. I also have love for my Northern (well western while in Alaska) neighbors as Canada is my chocolate (crunchies, cadbury, and kinder surprise to be exact) outlet.
I had a scary experience with CBC in a hotel room in Beaver Creek YT. There are some strange things on there, and Beaver Creek itself is a trip! I believe the only CBC I get here is programs shared with PBS, and not direct broadcasts. The commercials we get are often strange, the most prevalent are those for "singles phone lines". I'll ask my friends in Bellingham if they pick up anything. It may be different if one has cable as opposed to an antenna.
