		The background to the affair is complex in nature and involves three separate questions: 1) the issue of responsible government and the acquisition of full independence by Canada; 2) the rise of the Progressives in Western Canada in the early 1920's; 3) the long standing dispute between W.L.M.

	Pierre Elliot Trudeau
		In 1969, the Canadian government passed the Official Languages Act, thereby making English and French both official languages in Canada, guaranteeing Canadians access to federal government services in either English or French, and making it law that federal employees who dealt with Canadians be able to speak both official languages.
		This change made the Canadian Prime Minister look more like a USAmerican President than had been the case, even though Prime Ministers are not elected separately, but are the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in the federal election.
		The most significant parts of the Constitution Act were the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which prohibited discrimination against individuals based on their ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexuality, and the legal protection of the rights of minorities to their language and education in that language.

		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.

	Canadian Dimension / Articles / The Uncertain Path to PR - Editorial
		The election of a minority Liberal government in the June federal election has created a historic opportunity to push democratic reform in Canada, specifically dumping our unrepresentative, uncompetitive first-past-the-post voting system for some form of proportional representation.
		While the federal Liberals continue to dismiss PR, the NDP and the Greens are solidly in favour of the change, while both the Bloc and the Canadian Alliance wing of the new Conservative party voted in Parliament a year ago for an NDP private member’s bill to hold a national referendum on the issue.
		The clear implication is that most people believe “majority” governments really do represent a majority of Canadians, despite the fact that only three federal governments have enjoyed a clear majority of the popular vote since 1921.
