The Best Laid Plans is a Canadian comedy-drama miniseries based on the Stephen Leacock Award-winning 2008 novel of the same name by Terry Fallis. The series stars Jonas Chernick as Daniel Addison, a disillusioned political staffer in the office of Opposition Leader George Quimby (Mark McKinney) who is forced to run a local candidate's campaign during a federal election. 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.
