 Manitoba - MSN Encarta
In 1957 the electoral districts of Manitoba were redrawn to reflect the population shift from rural to urban areas, particularly to the city of Winnipeg and towns in the south, and also to the northern mining communities.
Manitoba had long sought such diversification as a way to ease the impacts of cyclical downturns in the agricultural sector.
An important issue facing Manitoba’s efforts to promote economic growth in the early 21st century is a shortage of labor, a consequence of slowing immigration and the departure of young, working-age people from the province.

 Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Harper v. Canada (Attorney General)
Elections are fair and equitable only if all citizens are reasonably informed of all the possible choices and if parties and candidates are given a reasonable opportunity to present their positions so that election discourse is not dominated by those with access to greater financial resources.
The difficulty with the Attorney General’s case lies in the disproportion between the gravity of the problem — an apprehended possibility of harm — and the severity of the infringement on the right of political expression.
This minimizes the Attorney General’s assertions of necessity and lends credence to the argument that the legislation is an overreaction to a non-existent problem.

 Governor General Cartoons
Because the Governor General doesn't really have a political role, he or she is rarely in the public spotlight, and as a result cartoons of the GG are not very common.
Historically, the Governor General was supposed to be the emissary of the British monarch to Canada.
The Governor General can then accept his resignation and call new elections, or appoint a new Prime Minister, or refuse the resignation (the last two powers are never used, but remain part of the GG's "reserve" constitutional authority).

Add to this the fact that the Liberal candidate at the by-election was unpopular for her extreme social views and for squandering millions of taxpayer dollars on legal fees to litigate her book bans all the way to the Supreme Court.
