	The Roles of the Monarchy - Canadian Monarchist ONLINE
		From its original creation until 1926, Canada's Governor-General had two roles: to be the representative of the monarch (first the French Kings, then the British Kings), and also as agents of the colonial government.
		As mentioned earlier, with the proclamation of the Statute of Westminster, the Governor-General and the Lieutenant-Governors ceased to be the colonial agents, and became the representatives of the Queen.
		Normally this is taken care of by democratic elections, and the Governor-General and Lieutenant- Governor 'sends' the leader of the party commanding a majority in the elected house to form a government.

		They are actually eight elections as he pairs the elections of 1925 and 1926, 1957 and 1958, and 1979 and 1980.
		For the political strategist the winning of elections is something that is largely indifferent to the character of candidates, the merits of their policies or the honesty of their advocacy.
		The 1988 election was the most dramatic in living memory but it is doubtful whether election strategy and tactics made much difference to the result.

	andrewcoyne.com: Illegitimate and illegal?
		Generally speaking a government would only resign if it lost a confidence vote within a few months of an election.
		For example, Ontario premier Frank Miller resigned in 1985 after losing a vote on the first speech from the throne right after provincial election, and the Lieutenant Governor appointed the leader of the opposition as the new premier (who then won a subsequent vote of confidence).
		In light of the past precedents, and especially the relevance of the 1926 motions on the Customs Affair, the current motion appears to be clearly a vote of confidence which would require the government to resign or call an election in the event it loses the vote.

		But the circumstances of this election -- a new party, with a new leader -- are not likely to come again, and in the meantime the party now has a couple of dozen incumbents with which to familiarize Ontarians with its message.
		The aggregate margin of victory in the 18 closest Liberal-first, Conservative-second ridings (13 in Ontario, 3 in the West, 2 in the Maritimes) was 33,570 votes.
		I've decided that it's true that the Ontario electorate was swayed in the final inning by the twin fears of the Bloc holding the balance of power and the uncertainty as to what the Conservatives ultimately intended to do with power.
