	Women & Canadian Elections

	Canadian Parliament - MSN Encarta
		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.
		One of the main tenets of the Canadian constitution is responsible government, or holding the government accountable to the people of Canada.

	Woodsworth, James Shaver
		Although the 1935 election sent only 7 CCFers to Ottawa, that little group included such political dynamos as T.C., and the party had become the official opposition in both BC and Saskatchewan.
		For Woodsworth the tragedy of the Depression was increasingly overshadowed by the impending horror of WWII and he gave his attention to Canada's international position.
		I believe that the only way to do it is by an appeal to the moral forces which are still resident among our people, and not by another resort to brute force." He alone rose to record his opposition to the declaration of war.

		Cultural integration into the Canadian mainstream was furthered by the Canadian Jewish upward class mobility that drove a widespread shift from the manufacturing sector into the professions, particularly from the 1940s on.

	The Opposition
		Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition in Canada is usually the largest parliamentary opposition party in the Canadian House of Commons that is not in government either on its own or as part of a governing coalition.
		It is styled as "Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition" to show that, although the group may be against the sitting government, it remains loyal to the Crown (the embodiment of the Canadian state), and thus to Canada.
		However, when Senator Gerry St. Germain crossed the floor from the Progressive Conservatives to the Canadian Alliance in 2000, he argued that he should be recognized as Leader of the Opposition in the Senate as the Canadian Alliance formed the Official Opposition in the House of Commons.

		It would be a stretch to call the election of 1921 a critical election since five years later the Progressives were able to elect only 20 MPs, and by the end of the decade, their national organization was moribund.
		Other "slightly less than critical elections" and the election of 1993: Until 1993, Canadian federal elections tended to work in favor of the Liberals because of the party's ability to campaign, win, and satisfy the voters of Ontario and Quebec, in which two-thirds of the population lived.
		John Porter (1965) noted that Canadian political and economic leaders, despite their cries for national unity in the face of the persistent regionalism which characterized the Canadian political system, focused on themes that divided the electorate to maintain their positions as elites.

		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.

		On her election in 1921, the event was not considered front page news by The Globe and Mail and Macphail was interviewed by few newspapers.
		She was not actively involved in politics herself (that is to say that she was not representing herself as a potential candidate) at this point, but volunteered regularly at CFO functions and partook in grassroots activities to support the candidates who ran in its campaigns.
		Her constant successes also marked the beginning of a shift in attitude towards women in politics; she was one of the first to successfully run for parliament for the sake of parliament, and not to "hold" a riding for someone else.
