  Ontario Election 1999 EV Campaign Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In this election, the EV goal was simple: to exact a meaningful, demonstrable, and measurable political price from the Progressive Conservative Party as a consequence of their very poor environmental protection record.
Producing the final voting history analysis as it might apply to the 1999 election was made somewhat difficult by the reduction in electoral districts and the change in electoral district boundaries.
Generally, videos were distributed to every second house in the targeted electoral districts and homes with campaign signs for any party were omitted as were all apartment buildings.

 Ontario general election, 1999 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Ontario general election was held on June 3, 1999, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
It was the first election in which the Legislative Assembly of Ontario had a reduced number of seats.
In the 1999 election, for the first time, provincial riding boundaries were redrawn to precisely match federal ridings, resulting in 27 fewer seats -- and 27 fewer Members of Provincial Parliament -- in the Ontario Legislature.

 Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in Canada - Elections to the House of Commons
In the ensuing January 23, 2006 general election, the Liberals were defeated by the Conservatives, who emerged as the largest party in the House of Commons, although well short of an absolute majority.
On November 28, 2005, the House of Commons passed the no-confidence motion by a vote of 171 to 133, and the government was forced to call an early general election - held in January 2006 - in which the Liberals lost to the Conservatives.
Between 1962 and 1980, eight federal elections were held in Canada, five of which (1962, 1963, 1965, 1972 and 1979) resulted in minority governments, as no party won an absolute majority of seats in the House of Commons.

 Do Canadians Trust Themselves?: The 2006 Federal Election by John von Heyking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Americans will be interested in what impact the election has on Canada’s commitment to North American security, the war on terror, and energy security, not to mention its impact on trade between the two countries, which is the largest bi-national trading relationship in the world.
For instance, before the election the prime minister threatened to retaliate against U.S. softwood lumber duties by slapping export duties on Alberta oil and gas, which would increase U.S. reliance on Saudi and Venezuelan oil, and increase pressure to drill for oil and gas in environmentally sensitive Alaskan wild lands.
This attention eastward and southward can only be seen as a threat for Ontarians who prefer to regard their province as the center of the country—a center that must keep the "periphery" in its orbit to keep the country intact.

 TRUE BLUE?
With an Ontario election seeming imminent this spring, Ontario voters for whom life and family are the first priority are feeling deeply betrayed by the Tories.
In general, there is a climate of fear and extreme caution on moral and social issues - although one wonders what the MPPs are afraid of in this free society where no one will be shot for speaking the truth (not yet, at least!).

The Liberal victory marks the first Ontario Liberal majority in 16 years and the first time in almost 70 years that a sitting Conservative premier in Ontario has lost an election outright.
Thursday's convincing Liberal win marks a stark reversal from the province's last election in 1999, when the Conservatives, led by Mike Harris, captured 59 seats with 45 per cent of the votes.
