 Canadian federal election, 2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2000 Canadian federal election was held on November 27, 2000, to elect 301 Members of Parliament to the 37th Parliament of the House of Commons of Canada.
The election was regarded as a great success by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and the Liberal Party, but a failure for every other party.
The PC Party had a very disappointing election, falling from 20 to 12 seats, and being almost exclusively confined to the Maritime provinces and Newfoundland.

 Canadian Election Study - Publications - Election 2000
The most recent generations are less prone to vote in good part because they pay less attention to politics and because they are less likely to adhere to the norm that voting is not only a right, but also a moral duty.
We show that the 2000 campaign was critical in salvaging the fate of the Conservative party, and that this Canadian election provides yet more evidence that campaigns matter.
The 1993 federal election witnessed the emergence of a significant gender gap in support for the new party of the right: women were much less likely than men to vote Reform, a trend that continued in the 1997 federal election.

 Canadian federal election, 1993 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian federal election of 1993 (officially, the 35th general election) was held on October 25 of that year to elect members of the 35th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
The 1988 election had been almost wholly focused on the issue of the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, and similarly, the 1993 election was preceded by the agreement on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
This election, like all previous Canadian elections, was conducted under a single-member plurality (or first past the post) system in which the country was carved into 295 electoral districts, or ridings, with each one electing one representative to the House of Commons.

In their last election, some of their crazier social conservatives opened their mouths and spilled the truth of what they intended to do.
Towards the end of the campaign, they even sent word to their American conservative brothers not to gloat about the upcoming Canadian election result, for fear of alerting Canadians that they were falling into a trap.
Canadians want to live in 'interesting times', and are about to get what they want.

Canadian Internet access and usage levels are among the highest in the world, and the government has invested heavily in making the Internet available across the "digital divide" through community-access sites in most areas.
The Canadian Alliance, by contrast, features a joke pop-up window in perfect French slang which invites the viewer to click to shift the Liberals and then obliges with a bit of DHTML wizardry.
Perhaps the best pointer to what the next election might look like when a new generation is driving communications policy is to be found at the University of British Columbia's online futures market, with contracts based on the outcome of the election.

In the federal general election of 1997, the BQ under Duceppe won only 44 seats, losing its Opposition status to the Alberta-based Reform Party of Canada (led by Preston Manning, son of longstanding former Alberta Premier Ernest Manning, whose Social Credit Party of Alberta remained in power there for decades).
In the federal general election of 2000, still under Duceppe, the party won fewer seats again: 38.

After the 2000 election, however, the other fringe or regional parties like Bloc Quebecois, Christian Heritage, Canadian Action, Libertarian, Rest of Canada and Confederation of Regions just weren't being covered in the conventional news forums and had to have their opinions known in an alternative news political arena such as this.

 Live from the Nuke Free Zone: Canadian General Election - Epilogue
The main one was that the election was so insanely close in some ridings that recounts were necessary; the other reason is that I wanted to see how the various parties and party leaders were going to react to things.
The problem is, going into the election the Liberals were hurting badly from the sponsorship mess, and as a result were expected to get at best a minority government, with the worst case being a Conservative minority or majority.
Martin, still the prime minister, noted that the election was a time for voters to "pass judgement," and interpreted the election not as a mandate but as a rebuke and cautious permission to continue to exist.

 Live from the Nuke Free Zone: Canadian General Election: The Conservative Platform
Considering the general tendency of the current Conservative Party to mimic the ideas and policies of the US Republican Party, especially in the past couple of years, there's an overall tone of going back south on bended knee to fix "problems" which have arisen.
A problem with Canadian defense is that nobody wants to try procurement; the Liberals have hemmed and hawed over replacing the Sea Kings with helicopters which were invented after the discovery of fire, but the Conservatives have pledged to kill any Liberal replacement programs as well.
The general tone of the platform is the first thing; it campaigns on hostility, on a "vote us because they're bad" platform, rather than propping up proposals on their own merits as the Liberals and (as we'll largely find with the next post) the NDP both tend to do.

 Desicritics.org: Canadian Politics: The Scent Of An Election
Going into an election looking like you're selling out one of the biggest industries in Canada probably isn't the best of ideas, but the Conservative party is threatening to make the vote of their new deal a vote of confidence.
If an election were called in September, it would mean that the Liberals would have to have their convention in the middle of an election campaign.
In fact the Conservatives are so sure of this being a major issue they have sent out a fundraising letter to all party members asking them for a contribution of $75.00 to $150.00 to show their support for the Conservative party's stand on Israel and the invasion of Lebanon.

In other words, there would be two general election days in October/November OR all the other local races and issues and all the other state offices and issues would be moved to the odd numbered year following the national and (3 most important offices in your) state election day.
The rest of the races, -- from issues to state attorney general to local coroner -- would be held on a second election day a few weeks earlier, or a few weeks later -- or moved to the next odd numbered year.

It works because the general public - the injured party when monopoly is supported - is inattentive, while the special interests are totally committed, giving election-winning political and financial support to cooperative politicians.
By the creation, partly by planning from Europe, and partly by Darwinian accident, of local monopoly powers, who could benefit from separation, even if the general interest of most of their countrymen was sacrificed.
These Canadian monopolies were sometimes simple and obvious, like the Hudson's Bay Company, and other times more subtle; for example in the special stature given, even now, to the "two founding peoples," and their languages, customs, and religion.

In fact, I have to agree with Steven Harper that, when you add in the return of Brian Tobin, this whole election exercise seems to be more an act against Paul Martin than anything else.
