	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.

	Canadian federal election, 1962 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian federal election of 1962 was held on June 18, 1962 to elect members of the 25th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
		This election reduced the Tories to a tenuous minority government as a result of economic difficulties such as high unemployment and a slumping Canadian dollar, as well as unpopular decisions such as the cancellation of the Avro Arrow.
		The 1962 election was the first contested by the social democratic New Democratic Party, which had been formed from an alliance between the old Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and the Canadian Labour Congress.

	NDP \| Our History
		Douglas was defeated in the federal election of 1962, due largely to a doctors’ led backlash at the time against the Saskatchewan NDP government's introduction of Medicare.
		She was first elected to the House of Commons for the Yukon in a by-election in 1987 and re-elected in the general elections of 1988 and 1993.
		But Canadians, distressed by nine years of government under Conservative Brian Mulroney, turned to the Liberals in the 1993 general election and, as a result, only nine New Democrat Members of Parliament were elected, three less than that required for official party status in the House of Commons.

	Historical Voter Turnout in Canadian Federal Elections - 1867-2004
		However, it is important to note the fluctuations of the numbers and percentage of registered voters as a percentage of the whole Canadian population (as measured at the census prior to the election).
		For example, the portion of Canadians under 15 years of age has dropped from 32.5% in 1941 to 19.1% in 2001; this figure is calculated from Census data available at Stats Canada.
		With this change in demographics in mind, one actually should have seen an increase in the percentage of Canada's total population who vote in an election as the Canadian population aged.

		It guarantees that, where numbers warrant, Canadians can receive federal government services in their choice of either official language and commits federal institutions to hiring, under the principle of merit, English- and French-speaking Canadians in numbers reflecting their proportion in the overall population.
		While French-speaking Canadians (commonly referred to as francophones) were seriously underrepresented in the federal civil service before enactment of the Official Languages Act, they now make up 28 per cent of the total.
		To accommodate the growing number of Canadians for whom neither English nor French is their mother tongue, the federal government in 1972 appointed the first minister responsible for multiculturalism, and it has since provided funding for multicultural activities.

	SUMMARY: Barcelona Traction, Light and Power Company Limited (Second Phase) Judgment - 5 February 1970 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The claim, which was brought before the Court on 19 June 1962, arose out of the adjudication in bankruptcy in Spain of Barcelona Traction, a company incorporated in Canada.
		Its object was to seek reparation for damage alleged by Belgium to have been sustained by Belgian nationals, shareholders in the company, as a result of acts said to be contrary to international law committed towards the company by organs of the Spanish State.
		As regards the first of these possibilities, the Court observed that whilst Barcelona Traction had lost all its assets in Spain and been placed in receivership in Canada, it could not be contended that the corporate entity of the company had ceased to exist or that it had lost its capacity to take corporate action.

		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.

		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.

		Canadian elites wanted to make sure Asia was 'safe' for their investments just as US elites did.
		Canadian food and beverages fed US troops, Canadian war material was used on the battlefields of South Vietnam and flown in sorties over Hanoi and Haiphong, auto parts fabricated in Canada were installed in US army vehicles, and many Canadian raw resources stoked the fires of the US military-industrial complex.
		If Canadians decided they wanted that, instead of a thin slice of imperial profits and power and all the nightmares and hatred that come with it, there would be a price to pay as well.
