It’s the one word you don’t want to misspell when trying to convince a nation that you’re indeed “ready” to lead them.
But there it was on the Liberal Party’s official website, sticking out like a sore, very red, thumb. “Canadaians.”
The unfortunate typo sat in a tarnished sentence vowing to help the middle class with a tax cut.
“Middle class Canadaians could save up to $670 per person each year, with a maximum benefit of nearly $1350 for a couple.”
But the Grits weren’t the only ones gritting their teeth in embarrassment on the long campaign trail.
The Tories have proven equally inept at spelling, tweeting out a graphic touting Prime “Minster” Stephen Harper as the winner of the first election debate.
The typo was quickly deleted and replaced with a corrected version.
The Liberals followed suit, correcting the mistake on Monday afternoon.
