	Canadian federal election, 1917 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1917 Canadian federal election (sometimes referred to as the khaki election) was held on December 17, 1917, to elect members of the 13th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
		Described by historian Michael Bliss as the "most bitter election in Canadian history", it was fought mainly over the issue of conscription (see Conscription Crisis of 1917).
		The election resulted in Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden's Unionist government elected with a strong majority, and the largest percent share of the popular vote for a single party in Canadian history.

	Canadian federal election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian federal election, 2004 (more formally, the 38th General Election), was held on June 28, 2004 to elect members of the 38th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
		Although the election was initially widely expected to be a relatively easy romp for Martin to a fourth consecutive Liberal majority government, during the campaign many began instead to predict a far more closely-fought election after the Sponsorship scandal broke out.
		On election day, polling times were arranged to allow results from most provinces to be announced more or less simultaneously, with the exception of Atlantic Canada, whose results were known before the close of polling in other provinces.

	Laurier, Sir Wilfrid
		But his party's defeats in the elections of 1878 and 1882 meant a curb to his ambitions, though he himself was re-elected in Québec-Est, and he took less interest in political debate.
		In 1885 his ardour was aroused by the hanging of Louis RIEL and he vigorously defended the cause of the Métis leader and the need to unite the French and English in Canada.
		In the 1896 election, when the education rights of the Catholic minority in Manitoba, curtailed since 1890, became an important issue (see MANITOBA SCHOOLS QUESTION), Laurier, more a skilful politician than a sincere defender of the Catholic minority, avoided taking a definite stand.

		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.

		Or was this election just a footnote — a detour in an era of social and cultural change in which traditionally subordinate groups such as women and minorities sustain their movement toward greater equality in our culture and politics?
