	Sir Charles, Bart. Tupper - LoveToKnow 1911
		Shortly before the Canadian Federal elections of February 1887, Sir Charles re-entered the Conservative cabinet as finance minister.
		By his efforts the Canadian Pacific railway was enabled to float a loan of $30,000,000, on the strength of which the line was finished several years before the expiration of the contract time.
		At the general election in the ensuing June the Conservatives were severely defeated, and Sir Charles Tupper and his colleagues resigned, Sir Wilfrid Laurier becoming premier.

	The Globe and Mail: Prime Ministers - He made it matter to be Canadian
		Indeed, the theme of Canadian sovereignty is the common thread that weaves the tapestry of his distinguished career.
		Canada's sovereignty was born in the crucible of his wartime leadership, and written in the blood of tens of thousands of young Canadians who died in the killing fields and trenches of Western Europe.
		But Borden continued to assert Canadian sovereignty in other areas of foreign policy, establishing a Canadian legation in Washington, a minister plenipotentiary who would be resident in the British embassy, but receive his instructions from Ottawa.

		The Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned a number of Canadian photographers to record spectacular sights and development in Canada and then were sent to Britain and Europe to provide stimulus for the massive wave of immigration which soon followed the opening of the railway.

	Elections
		Canadian elections are held under a process that reflects well-understood principles and is a part of the country's political culture.
		While elections and changes in either the prime minister or the government as a whole may be related to each other, there is no necessary connection between elections and changes in the executive.
		Each general election is unique, for while the basic principles on which elections are conducted have varied remarkably little since the beginning, the personnel involved and the issues fought over are never entirely the same.

	Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Canadian Election Column
		There is little evidence to suggest Laurier was turfed for calling an unprecedented early election; he was done in by anti-imperialist forces in Quebec, pro-imperialist forces in Ontario, and anti-free trade votes in B.C. and Manitoba -- organized by former Liberal strongman Clifford Sifton, if you can believe.
		The point is that Laurier had every expectation of an easy win in the 1911 election, a not unreasonable assumption based on the state of the opposition and his still-powerful personal appeal.
		That he was handily defeated by a combination of divergent interests probably came as a surprise to him and in hindsight he certainly would have thought twice about a hasty election given the volatile situation at the time.

	Elections Canada On-Line \| Past Elections
		In the case of an election by acclamation, for instance, the number of registered electors on the lists for that electoral district was included in the total number of registered electors for some elections, but not for others.
		Voter turnout figures have been corrected where appropriate: to estimate turnout in these cases, the total number of votes cast in a plural-member electoral district was divided by the number of members elected from that district (see Scarrow 1962).
		This percentage rises to 70.9 when the number of electors on the lists is adjusted to account for electors who had moved or died between the enumeration for the 1992 referendum and the election of 1993, for which a separate enumeration was not carried out except in Quebec, as the 1992 electoral lists were reused.

	A Canadian Flag for Canada
		Both Canadian nationalism and Canadian imperialism were essentially Canadian inventions and were often, as in the case of Macdonald and, later, Diefenbaker, found as only vaguely reconciled emotions within the same individual.
		For, until the nation became pre-eminently Canadian, a solely Canadian flag was not a political possibility; yet, until the flag became pre-eminently Canadian, a solely Canadian nation was not an emotional possibility.
		Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the major contenders for the national flag were the Canadian Red Ensign, and the green leaf on a red and white flag diagonal field (as proposed by the Ligue du Drapeau National).
