		The Conservatives were the country's first ruling party, with the election of Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867, although in the late1800s, the party was known as the "Liberal-Conservative Party." Considered to be on the political right-of-centre of Canadian politics.
		Elections Canada defines a third party as "a person or group, other than a candidate, registered party or electoral district association of a registered party," and requires that they be registered if they spend $500 or more in election advertising expenses.

	Canadian Parliament - MSN Encarta
		Parliament consists of three elements: the House of Commons; the Senate; and the governor-general, who serves as the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, Canada’s head of state.
		Parliament cannot pass laws that infringe on the freedoms set down in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adopted as part of the constitution in 1982.
		However, all of the charter rights are “subject to such reasonable limits as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.” Canada’s judiciary, including the Supreme Court of Canada, determines whether Parliament has overstepped its bounds, in relation to either provincial powers or to charter rights.

	Canadian Elections - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Elections in Canada happen every 5 years, or whenever someone in the government gets annoyed and decides to call an election.
		Elections are done by way of secret ballots, whereby voters are made to stand in line for hours so that they may tick a small piece of paper and stuff it in a box.
		Those all-Canadian characteristics were mostly taken from the Canadian World Domination Headquarters, along with a few edits by the author, who would like nonetheless to congratulate those people at the CWDH for their hard work in defining that elusive, almost mythical thing called Canadian Identity.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in Canada - Elections to the House of Commons
		In the ensuing January 23, 2006 general election, the Liberals were defeated by the Conservatives, who emerged as the largest party in the House of Commons, although well short of an absolute majority.
		The Reform Party (which became the Canadian Alliance in 2000) displaced the Progressive Conservatives as the major right-wing force at the federal level, but the party was unable to mount an effective challenge to the Liberals, who dominated Canadian federal politics from 1993 to 2006.
		Between 1962 and 1980, eight federal elections were held in Canada, five of which (1962, 1963, 1965, 1972 and 1979) resulted in minority governments, as no party won an absolute majority of seats in the House of Commons.

		In 1843 Macdonald was elected an alderman in Kingston, then in 1844 he won an election giving him a seat in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada.
		After the election of 1862 the Conservative Government was defeated, so Macdonald served as leader of the opposition party until 1864.
		Canadian people agreed with this idea and so in 1878 the Conservatives were reelected and Macdonald was Prime Minister once again.

	The Canadian National Newspaper: Conservative Party linked to pro-U.S. annexation cabal
		Mel Hurtig, the founder of the Council of Canadians, and also a variety of other reliable sources including veteran CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, now reveal that senior elected representatives and advisors to the Conservative Party, are currently planning a scheme that would hand over Canada to the Bush regime by 2007.
		Documents obtained by researchers associated with the Council of Canadians were marked "Internal Document, Not for Public Release." At least three current Ministers of Stephen Harper's Conservative Party minority government are cited in the Document as "ring leaders" so-to-speak, of an unlawful and anti-constitutional effort to hand Canada to the Bush regime.
		Canadian constitutional and related law is quite clear that any such effort by elected members of a government to subvert the political authority of the Government of Canada, constitutes breach of a Parliamentary Allegiance of Office, and broadly treason.

	The Canadian Electoral System (BP-437E) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Canada Elections Act sets out the qualifications and disqualifications for voting in federal elections; these combine to establish a virtually universal adult franchise. It is important to appreciate that this is a relatively recent phenomenon and the product of a gradual evolution, including two major changes.
		Canadians are very mobile, and about 20% of the information on the Register of Electors changes every year. The Register is updated with information from existing federal and provincial data bases. By complying with certain procedures and requirements, eligible voters are able to vote, even if they are not on the voters’ lists.
		Each of the 308 Members of the Canadian House of Commons — including the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers, the Leader of the Opposition, and the Speaker — is elected to represent a particular constituency. As noted above, elections in Canada are organized on a constituency basis and are largely administered at this level.

		Election night on June 28th brought a very different result from the what the polls had led everyone to believe.

		The last election, held in 1993, had the impact of a 7.4 earthquake on the Canadian political landscape: out went the Conservatives (who, along with the Liberals, had dominated the scene since the country's foundation in 1867), replaced by the Reform Party and the Bloc Québécois.
		Then there were scandals in the Canadian army and the feeling the government was engaged in a cover-up, and, on top of that, there was a slowdown in the economy.
		For one thing, the Liberals' decision to call an election comes at a time when hundreds of thousands of people are battling the aftermath of floods in the western province of Manitoba.

		Although it is true that the prime minister of Canada must contend with a dozen provincial and territorial chief executives who rule their domains as absolutely as he rules his, it is equally true that he has most of the taxing power--while they must bear the responsibility for running the programs that those taxes fund.
		And as Canadians have just learned, the prime minister is no longer restrained even by the most basic and fundamental rule of Westminster-style government: the need to command a majority of the House of Commons.
		There will be an election soon--but Canadians have no Charter right to buy newspaper or radio ads to express their opinions.

		The charismatic, intellectual, handsome, single, and fully bilingual Trudeau soon captured the hearts and minds of the nation, and the period leading up to the election saw such intense feelings for him that it was dubbed "Trudeaumania." At public appearances, he was confronted by screaming girls, something never before seen in Canadian politics.
		Images of Trudeau standing fast to the rioters were broadcast across the country, and swung the election even further in the Liberals' favour as many English-speaking Canadians believed that he would be the right leader to fight the threat of Quebec separatism.
