	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 vary from riding to riding because they are 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 federal election, 1997 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian federal election of 1997 was held on June 2, 1997, to elect members of the 36th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
		When the election was called, many commentators noted that it ended the second shortest majority mandate in Canadian history; only Wilfrid Laurier's term of office from 1908-1911 was shorter.
		1997 was one of only two elections in Canadian history (the other was 1993) where the official Opposition did not have the majority of the opposition's seats.

		In Canada, every federal election is a turning point in the evolution of the nation and, as such, each is also a case study of where the country is at a particular point in time.
		Understanding how a particular federal election reflects the current thinking of Canadians as a whole, of the issues and concerns that face them, and of their acceptance or rejection of political ideology is important to the understanding of the democratic process.
		Canadian federal elections are often known for specific issues or events and are informally known as such.

		The Correlates and Consequences of Anti-Partyism in the 1997 Canadian Election
		We show that in the 1997 Canadian election perceptions of the local race in the constituency did affect the vote, but not perceptions of the race for who would form the government and the official opposition.
		The paper uses the 1997 Canadian Election Study (CES) to determine whether there were significant dynamics in the 1997 Canadian election and to provide an assessment of the two key events of the campaign: the televised leader debates and the "Quebec" Reform ad.

		Their modest vote loss between 1993 and 1997 was very typical of parties in power (three points, exactly the median for the 16 Canadian elections since 1949).
		There is no evidence in the Canadian election survey of voters punishing the Liberals for their shift to the right (as exemplified by cuts to social programs in order to eliminate the deficit).
		Perhaps the tight focus on the 1997 election was achieved at some cost to a fuller and more probing examination of the historical context for the election.

		At stake in the election will be 301 seats in the House of Commons, which is being expanded from its current 295 seats.
		Though a French Canadian, Chretien and the Liberals oppose independence for Quebec, which is the aim of the Bloc Quebecois.

		The last election, held in 1993, had the impact of a 7.4 earthquake on the Canadian political landscape: out went the Conservatives (who, along with the Liberals, had dominated the scene since the country's foundation in 1867), replaced by the Reform Party and the Bloc Québécois.
		Then there were scandals in the Canadian army and the feeling the government was engaged in a cover-up, and, on top of that, there was a slowdown in the economy.
		For one thing, the Liberals' decision to call an election comes at a time when hundreds of thousands of people are battling the aftermath of floods in the western province of Manitoba.

		The election also saw the rise of two new parties: the Bloc Québécois, which became the Official Opposition, and the Reform Party, which also won many seats.
		She had replaced Brian Mulroney, who was considered one of the most unpopular Prime Ministers in Canadian history because of his failed constitutional reforms and the poor state of the Canadian economy.
		While she was expected to lose the election, she was forced to call one as the Tories' five-year mandate had almost expired.

	1997 Canadian Federal Election Forecaster
		This means that the results of this election forecasting program will be inaccurate in the sense that some of the boundaries of election districts have changed.
		Because the federal election system is based on "first-past-the-post", prediction of the election result in terms of the seats distribution in the Legislative Assembly must be based on a prediction of the election result in each constituency.
		However, applying this simple voter migration matrix to the 1993 election results is a crude way of forecasting the outcome of the 1997 election.

		After four elections under MMP we are now in a better position to evaluate the validity of the claims.
		Yet it was the second election after a change to proportional representation from a first-past-the-post system, which comparative research indicates should have had the effect of turnout increase.
		Abstract: After 2002, the year of the third MMP election in New Zealand, this paper asks whether we may be through the process of electoral system transition and may now simply treat the various electoral outcomes as 'normal' responses to the economic and political events of the government's term of office.

	Mockery of democracy: Third World highways
		After the results of the election were posted, things were said by political pundits which gave many of us a good belly laugh.
		For instance, some stated that the citizens in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New Brunswick, because of their rejection of the Liberals, would not be given the same federal attention that they received during the past three and a half years.
		On reflection, the election results indicate strongly that many voters weren't persuaded that their pocketbooks could stand any more of this sort of wonderful attention!

	Egwald Statistics — Canadian Elections — 2006
		Over the last nineteen elections, the previous smallest percentage of seats of Ontario and Quebec won by the party forming the government was 49 percent.
		Esentially, the election in Ontario and Quebec resulted in a three-way-split among the Liberal, Bloc Québécois, and Conservative Parties.
		While the coefficients for E and BC are almost the same, the intercept, OQ, and P coefficients have changed significantly, since these variables are correlated with the event of a minority or a majority government.

		Since we are interested in the extent to which the four regions determine the winning party in a Canadian election, the number of independent variables = 4 (number of regions: E, OQ, P and BC).

	Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Canadian Election Column
		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.
		In 1997 the Bloc nudged ahead of les Rouges in popular vote, 37.9 to 36.9, but, due to lopsided Liberal votes in Montreal, those numbers translated into a 44-member delegation for Gilles Duceppe and only 26 for the Liberals.

		The next provincial election in Quebec will be a de-facto sovereignty referendum, and I expect Bouchard to call this election sometime in mid-1998, thus setting the stage (in his mind) for an independent Quebec in 2000.

		In the wake of the 1997 Canadian federal election, both Reformers and supporters of the traditional parties are asking themselves, "What the heck happened?"
