	Historical Overview of Manitoba Election Practices
		In examining historical election results it is important to be aware of the legislation that existed at the time the elections were held.

		Eligible voters can have their names omitted or obscured from voters list for the first time under rules of personal security protection introduced in changes to the E.A. in 1995.

		Originally the province was only 1/18 of its current size - it was known as the "postage stamp province." It grew progressively, absorbing land from the Northwest Territories until it attained its current size by reaching 60°N in 1912.

		Premier Robert Bourassa of Quebec referred to it as the first step towards gaining new powers from the federal government.
		However, the legislatures in Newfoundland and Manitoba did not support the Accord, primarily because they saw it as a change which granted exclusive powers to the province of Quebec and would severely and permanently weaken the country.

	Idealistic Pragmatist: alberta
		I tried to paint a portrait of Our Esteemed Premier last night in an attempt to convince a friend that, while the right wing in Canada are nowhere near as far right as their U.S. equivalents, they are no less crazy.
		He became premier (the Canadian equivalent of the American governor) of Alberta in 1992 and has sat on the throne ever since.
		It's a truly divided riding where all three major parties are politically viable (it's actually held on the provincial level by Alberta NDP leader Raj Pannu), and the Conservative has a hold on the seat only because of the split left.

		Premier Gary Doer, host of this year's premiers' meeting, has expanded the invitation list, his aides say, because recent controversies over softwood lumber and the passport issue have convinced him that premiers and governors have to be part of Canada-U.S. discussions, too.
		At last week's meeting of Atlantic premiers and New England governors, the political leaders all agreed that they have to redouble efforts to fight the crackdown or at least try to get the deadline extended because of the economic damage it will cause.
		In yesterday's voice vote in Washington, the Senate backed the amendment by Leahy, who said federal agencies on the American side of the border will not be ready to implement regulations requiring all those crossing the 49th parallel by land to carry a passport or similar secure identity card by Jan. 1, 2008.
