	Canadian federal election, 1925 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian federal election of 1925 was held on October 29 to elect members of the 15th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
		This plan was complicated by the fact that his party lost the election, and that King himself had lost his seat in the House of Commons.
		King was not a crusader, or a polemicist, or a debater, but he saw this as interference in Canadian politics by an official appointed by a foreign power.

	Civilization.ca - History of the Vote - Chronicle, A spotlight on 1920-1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Beginning with the election of 1930 and until the 1990s, most federal elections were conducted using lists assembled by enumerators during the election period.
		The postcards were dropped after this election, and from the 1940 election until 1982 (when postcards were reintroduced), voters were sent a copy of the list showing the name, address, and occupation of all voters in the relevant poll.
		A significant innovation of the 1920 elections act was the provision for voting in advance of election day by specified groups of voters: commercial travellers, railwaymen, and sailors could vote during the three days (excluding Sundays) preceding an election.

		In the Canadian federal election of June 25,
		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.

	Civilization.ca - History of the Vote - Chronicle, A spotlight on 1920-1997
		This chapter traces how the law and election administration have been shaped and reshaped to accommodate the broad diversity that characterizes the Canadian electorate legislative and administrative innovations that made voting more accessible and convenient, modernized the election machinery, and removed racial and religious disqualifications.
		Thus began the tradition of Elections Canada as the independent, non-partisan agency that administers federal elections and referendums.
		Similarly, after the 1925 election, Colonel Biggar pointed out that with the election being held on a Thursday, the advance voting provisions had been of little use to commercial travellers: they were already out on the road when the advance polls opened for the three days preceding the election.

	counterweights - LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE ... the conscience of the nation returns?
		Even as the four Canadian federal party leaders were up in an airplane over the Atlantic Ocean, returning from their all-too-short vacation in the Netherlands, the ordinary Members of Parliament back in Ottawa seem to have begun the long-awaited quick march to wherever it is Canadian federal politics is going at last.
		Culminating with federal legislation in 1977, the new official status of a "Canadian citizen," first introduced in the immediate wake of the brave sacrifices of the Second World War, has now altogether supplanted the earlier status of a mere "British subject" resident in Canada, in the vanished old global empire.
		The Canadians of the great generation who did more than their fair share of liberating Europe in the Second World War set the stage for the next Canada that began its long slow growth at the end of the war, with the first Canadian Citizenship Act of 1947.

	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.

	Elections Canada On-Line \| Past Elections
		In the case of an election by acclamation, for instance, the number of registered electors on the lists for that electoral district was included in the total number of registered electors for some elections, but not for others.
		Voter turnout figures have been corrected where appropriate: to estimate turnout in these cases, the total number of votes cast in a plural-member electoral district was divided by the number of members elected from that district (see Scarrow 1962).
		This percentage rises to 70.9 when the number of electors on the lists is adjusted to account for electors who had moved or died between the enumeration for the 1992 referendum and the election of 1993, for which a separate enumeration was not carried out except in Quebec, as the 1992 electoral lists were reused.

		When one party is not strong enough to secure the confidence of parliament, there is a minority government and the incumbent government continues unless it resigns or is disposed of in a vote of non confidence in the government.

	Astrological notes on the 2004 Canadian Federal election
		This election will be about health care, war and defence, and acceptance of refugees and immigrants; the Parliament elected here will be charged with leading us out of a morass of scandals and complicated issues, into a situation of material security.
		One significant issue for the Canadian health care system is the idea of citizens being allowed to purchase their own health care services separate from the government-provided system, and the Jupiter/Uranus opposition highlights the tension caused by that issue.
		Harper's natal Saturn is on the election's Ascendant, his natal Neptune is on the Midheaven, and his natal Mars is on the election's Descendant.
