	Municipal Democracy on Trial in St. John's, 1888-1898
		With his election, the Tories presented themselves as the champions of civic rights and the advocates of full incorporation "free from all political interference", (11) a position the Liberals had adopted in 1889 when the Tories controlled both the government and the council.
		Since a municipal election was scheduled to be held in January 1895, both levels of government agreed to postpone this for a year because of the financial crisis in Newfoundland.
		The election took place on 29 October 1897 and the Tories led by James Winter won 24 of the colony's 36 seats as continuing poor economic conditions in the fishery helped to defeat the Whiteway Liberals.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography
		The Ontario South nomination was apparently unexpected; the Liberal-Conservatives’ choice of Receiver General Joseph Curran Morrison* had prompted the riding’s Reformers to replace their own candidate with someone more prestigious and better able to unite the local party.
		From 1872 to 1896, as premier and attorney general of Ontario, he would advocate a construction of the British North America Act of 1867, the imperial statute that embodied the confederation settlement, which the majority of scholarly commentators since the 1930s have perceived as a radical departure from the original intent of confederation.
		Mowat’s campaign for Ontario’s territorial and constitutional rights appealed to the old Brownite prejudices and to the commercial interests that wished to throw off Montreal’s hegemony, and he contrived to yoke his territorial campaign to the loyalist tradition by comparing the dominion government to the invaders of 1812.

		His government was in power during the beginning of the Great Depression, but lost the election of 1930 to the Conservative Party, now led by Richard Bedford Bennett.

	James Conmee Articles
		He contested Nippising for the Dominion Parliament at the general election in 1896, but was defeated, after which he was re-elected at the general elections in 1898 and 1902 for the Ontario House.
		After his election in 1885, he had continued to be associated with local railway projects as contractor for sections of the Port Arthur, Duluth and Western, the Ontario and Rainy River, and, most lucratively the Algoma Central, with Charles Martin Bowman.
		Although he was generally a forceful defender of Liberal policies and would hold his seat (renamed Port Arthur and Rainy River in 1902) for the Liberals until 1904, he was forced to side with his constituents against the Liberal government's mining legislation, which increased state control over the industry and its revenues.

		Elections were held for all members of the House of Commons following the premature dissolution of this body.
		The main issue of the 2004 campaign was the "sponsorship scandal", that involved the disbursement by the government of $250 million in advertising contracts over four years to Quebec advertising firms friendly to the Liberal Party with a significant portion, of the amount, about $100 million, paid as fees and commissions.
		The big winner of the election was the Bloc QuÃ©bÃ©cois, whose win of 54 of Quebec's 75 seats was a considerable improvement over its victory in 38 districts in 2000.

	Confederation and Canada's Government (and how it works)
		That's because the prime minister remains the prime minister until his government is defeated by another party that wins a majority of seats in a general election, he resigns, or his government loses a vote of confidence on a major motion in the House of Commons (for example, on the vote to accept a budget).
		In general, the Prime Minister is the leader of the party with the largest number of seats in the House of Commons, and is vested with extensive powers.
		In general, it is the Prime Minister who chooses the ministers from among the members of Parliament in the governing party.
