		The captains of Canadian finance, manufacturing and transport excited the naturally strong Canadian suspicions of American economic intentions and, with their support, the Conservative Opposition under Robert BORDEN convinced the electorate that Canada's separate national economy and imperial trading possibilities were about to be thrown away for economic, and possibly political, absorption by the US.

		In the federal election of 11 June 1945, held while thousands of veterans were just beginning to come home, Canadians returned the LIBERAL PARTY to office.

	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.

		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.

	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.

	counterweights - JOHN IBBITSON'S NEXT CANADA
		In the eyes of more than a few Canadians themselves, their June 2004 federal election was just a local opening act for the much more serious and weighty November 2004 election in the global superpower next door.
		You could read the recent Canadian federal election of 2004 as evidence that Stephen Harper and his exotic New Tories are ultimately the people who best understand this need, and are prepared to act on it, seriously enough.
		But, even if you have almost no real sympathy at all for John Ibbitson’s own underlying new Canadian neo-conservative point of view, it is hard to reflect on the 2004 federal election without thinking that he may again be onto something in his assessment of the current federal Liberals.

		The merger was the culmination of the Canadian "Unite the Right" movement, driven by the desire to present an effective right-wing opposition to the Liberal Party of Canada, to create a new party that would draw support from all parts of Canada and would not split the right-wing vote.
		The splitting of the right-wing vote contributed, at least in part, to Liberal victories in the 1997 federal election and the 2000 election.
		In the Canadian House of Commons, it represents the left wing of the Canadian political spectrum while the Liberal and Conservative parties are generally assumed to represent the centre and right wings, respectively.

	Immigrant Civic Participation & Election 2004
		The 57 percent increase from 19.8 million in 1990 to 31.1 million in 2000, is also without precedent in our history, both numerically and proportionately.
		Even during the great wave of immigration from 1900 to 1910, the foreign-born population grew by only 3.2 million (or 31 percent), from 10.3 million to 13.5 million.
		However, as a percentage of the U.S. population immigrants are half of the well over 20% of the U.S. population that immigrants constituted in 1912 - the actual highpoint of immigrant presence in the U.S. The Census Bureau estimates are conservative, other estimates indicate a considerably higher number of illegal immigrants.
