 Why Is there So Little Strategic Voting in Canadian Plurality Rule Elections?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Using the 1988 Canadian Election Study I examine why there was only restricted strategic voting in single–member district plurality elections.
In that election 19 percent of Canadian voters preferred the party that actually finished third in their constituency, but among these third party supporters only one in eight decided to vote strategically for one of the top two contenders.
Second, many overestimated their party's chance of winning and as a consequence did not feel that their vote would be wasted.

Few public policy issues have stirred political passions on both sides of the Canada/US border as free trade did in the late 1980s.
Negotiated between Canada and the United States in 1987, the Free Trade Agreement became the dominant issue in the November 1988 Canadian federal election, perhaps the most dramatic and divisive campaign in the second half of the twentieth century.
Ten years after implementation of the agreement, the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada organized a major conference to renew the discussion of free trade and consider its economic impact.
