	Harris Wins Ontario Election
		The Liberals, who had entered the election with a whopping lead in the polls, dropped to 30 from 34 seats, with 31 per cent of the vote.
		Ontario's decision has deep implications for the Liberal government in Ottawa and for the nine other provincial governments.
		Private party polls on the brink of the election, and public polls during the 18 months prior to the election, indicated that roughly half of all the decided voters favored the Liberals.

	Ontario - MSN Encarta
		A farm lobby group, the United Farmers of Ontario, together with a mixed group of labor candidates, astonished the country by squeezing a close victory at the polls.
		Like many Ontario elections, it was a close race, but this time the Liberals joined forces with the New Democratic Party (NDP), the successor to the CCF, to form a minority government and topple the Conservatives.
		The old three-way balance had been broken in 1985 and the NDP was now seen as a viable alternative rather than as a protest group.

	Canadian Election Law & Policies
		Elections Canada also provides a number of plain English overviews of the laws and policies governing the conduct of federal elections.
		The specific limits on candidates' election expenses for the 2006 election varied from riding to riding because they were based on the number of electors in a constituency.
		This law was challenged during the 2000 election, by Stephen Harper when he headed up the National Citizens Coalition, on the grounds that the law is an unconstitutional limit on the freedom of expression and of the voters' rights to be fully informed of all points of view.

	Canadian Elections - Riding Information
		The 2006 general election will be conducted using the 308 ridings contested in the 2004 election; by contrast there were 301 constituencies in the 1997 and 2000 elections.
		The 2006 elections will be conducted with the same electoral boundaries used in the 2004, with the exception of two constituencies in New Brunswick: Acadie–Bathurst and Miramichi.
		Perhaps the most interesting ridings to watch in the 2006 elections are the 58 marginal seats, where candidates won with a margin of 5% or less in the 2004 elections.

		In Ontario, for instance, the provincial Liberal government introduced an unpopular budget the week of the expected election call, and their federal counterparts then fell into a statistical dead heat with the Conservatives in polls there.
		Although on the eve of the election the party was polling slightly ahead of the Liberals everywhere west of Quebec, it had dropped in support, polling behind or at par with Liberals everywhere except Alberta and British Columbia, where it held onto its traditional support.
		Ontario budget: Dalton McGuinty's tax raises in Ontario proved highly unpopular, despite being necessitated by a holdover deficit from the previous Progressive Conservative government.

	Murray Elston Information
		He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1981 to 1994, and was a prominent cabinet minister in the government of David Peterson.
		Elston was first elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1981 provincial election, defeating Progressive Conservative Gary Harron by 224 votes in the rural, southwestern constituency of Huron—Bruce.
		In the 1990 Ontario election, the Liberals were unexpectedly defeated by the New Democratic Party under Bob Rae.

		However, in the October 2, 2003 provincial election, the Liberals, under Dalton McGuinty, won 72 seats (with 46.5 per cent of the popular vote), the Progressive Conservatives, under Ernie Eves, 24 seats (with 34.6 per cent of the vote), and the NDP (under Howard Hampton), 7 seats (with 14.7 per cent of the vote).
		The winner of the upcoming Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership contest will therefore probably be fairly well- positioned to significantly challenge the provincial Liberals in the next election — although it is a number of years away, and the situation could obviously shift repeatedly during that time.
		Whatever the outcome of the Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership contest, and the eventual provincial election in Ontario, Canada has certainly been marked by massive social transformation and upheaval since the 1960s, and it is likely that these trends will continue.

		It is not enough for political leaders and foreign election observers to focus their attention on the allocation of time for free broadcasts by the rival parties during the limited period before the poll.
		In the later stages of the term of a Parliament, when the prospect of a sudden election campaign becomes greater, the political parties and their candidates must step up their electioneering activities, just in case the election is called.
		In contrast, the federal definition of election expenses entails an initial statement followed by a list of several items considered to be election expenses; the list, although not intended to be exhaustive, helps to give meaning to the definition...

	Canadian Auto Workers union to stump for Liberals in next Ontario election
		Although the "strategic voting" resolution did not specifically call for the election of a Liberal government, the province's parliamentary arithmetic and the NDP's current low-level of popular support make it all but inevitable that the CAW will be supporting the Liberals in a majority of Ontario's 103 parliamentary constituencies.
		The CAW's current position differs from its 1985 stance in two important respects: First, the CAW bureaucracy is not waiting until the elections are over to ally with the Liberals; second, it is asking nothing of the Liberals in return for its support.
		Ontario has been convulsed by militant strikes and protests during much of the past three and half years, as working people have sought to resist the Harris Tory government's drive to pauperize the jobless, slash social and public services and restrict trade union rights.

	YORK UNIVERSITY MEDIA RELEASE
		The higher spending in NDP wins reflects the fact that the NDP and Liberals contested northern Ontario ridings where the electorates are smaller, and special spending limits allow the candidates to spend a greater sum per elector because of the added costs of campaigning over a very large area.
		In the past two Ontario elections, in 1995 and 1990, all three parties spent very close to the limit governing central party spending, yet the elections produced a defeat for the party in power both times, first with an NDP majority, then a Conservative majority.
		This pattern is the same for the 1990, 1987 and 1985 elections.

		On June 26, 1985, David Peterson was sworn in as Premier of Ontario in a coalition government between the Liberals and NDP.
		The general public felt that Peterson's early election call was cynical, and the party also appeared to be desperate when half-way through their campaign they proposed to cut the provincial sales tax.

		In the provincial election, expected in April, we will be fielding a full or near full slate of candidates and we will be presenting a professionally looking and sounding platform document.

		Southern Ontario is considered rather boring and our North is considered to be either too cold or infested by flflies to be a worthy election issue.

		Ontario law allows parent unions to take control of local unions for one year without providing justification, but trusteeships can be extended beyond 12 months only by consent of the labor board.
		He argued that to avoid "a serious upheaval" and permit "an orderly transfer of power" the trusteeship should be maintained in the meantime.

		She was instrumental in bringing the three fractious factions of squash in Ontario (men’s hardball, men’s soft ball and women) together to form Squash Ontario in 1976.
		Sue was on the first crucial Board of Directors of Squash Ontario that was responsible for establishing the office, hiring an Executive Director and “calming the still choppy waters of amalgamation”.
		Although Jim was the recipient of all of Ontario’s major awards, it speaks to the character of Jim Mason that he was not defined by a singular recognition.

		Canada's current formula for redistributing seats every 10 years is biased against Ontario, Alberta, and B.C. because Quebec and the smaller provinces have constitutionally guaranteed seat minimums.
