	Quebec City - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Quebec City is known for its Winter Carnival and the Château Frontenac, an historic hotel which dominates the city skyline.
		In French, Quebec City is generally referred to simply as Québec without the French equivalent of the word "city." French names of large geographical regions such as provinces and countries are typically preceded by articles whereas city names are not (unless it is part of the name, such as "La Malbaie").
		In mid-2001, 13.0% of the resident population in Quebec City was of retirement age (65 and over for males and females) compared with 13.2% in Canada; therefore, the average age is 39.5 years of age compared to 37.6 years of age for Canada as a whole.

	Canadian Election Law & Policies
		Elections Canada also provides a number of plain English overviews of the laws and policies governing the conduct of federal elections.
		The specific limits on candidates' election expenses for the 2006 election varied from riding to riding because they were based on the number of electors in a constituency.
		This law was challenged during the 2000 election, by Stephen Harper when he headed up the National Citizens Coalition, on the grounds that the law is an unconstitutional limit on the freedom of expression and of the voters' rights to be fully informed of all points of view.

		An election is a decision making process where people vote for preferred political candidates or parties to act as representatives in government.
		The universal acceptance of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in sharp contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where elections were considered an oligarchic institution and where most political offices were filled using allotment / sortition.
		The Democracy Watch (International) website, further defines fair democratic elections as, "Elections in which great care is taken to prevent any explicit or hidden structural bias towards any one candidate, aside from those beneficial biases that naturally result from an electorate that is equally well informed about the various assets and liabilities of each candidate".

	Special Education Provisions in Quebec Teacher Collective Agreements
		For integrated classes, a weighting formula is used which reduces the maximum class size as a function of the number of exceptional children in the integrated classes and their type of exceptionality.
		Boards in Quebec are not absolutely bound by the maxima but are required to pay a penalty to any teacher whose class size exceeds the relevant maximum, according to an elaborate formula.
		Fiscal neutrality is highly desirable in that it permits the integration decision to be based on professional judgment rather than on financial incentives or disincentives that ignore both the welfare of the children in the school and the actual cost of the services being provided.

	FreeAlberta.com: For An Independent Alberta
		The elections in 2004 were not the only time that the Canadian government has ignored the wishes of Albertans about who should be representing Albertans.
		The election and subsequent appointment of Waters to the Senate did make it obvious that some form of Senate reform could be made without reforming the Constitution.
		One could argue that this was yet another election promise that would not come to fruition, but that wasn't the only example of Martin having little problem making piecemeal changes to the Constitution.

		After the party's decimation in that year's election (they were reduced to 2 seats), he became leader.

		He was acclaimed Quebec Liberal leader in March, 1998, after being pressured to replace Daniel Johnson, but lost the provincial election that year to Bouchard, the then-PQ premier.

		In 1989, Trudel got elected in Temiscamingue provincially as a Pequist and held the seat until he was defeated this week by a Liberal (partly because the BQ federal MP ran for the ADQ and split the sovereignist vote).
		Charest's election was a bit of a fluke, he's pretty right-wing and staunchly federalist for a Qc premier.
		Calling an election on the old boundaries a few weeks before they expire would cause a lot of confusion, though it may save a few incumbents who are going to get squeezed out.

	Memo on the Margin: What’s Going on in Yugoslavia? ; 10-03-00
		Yesterday, I received this missive from Professor Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa in Quebec, who is one of the closest students of the economic underpinnings of the distress in the Balkans since the IMF/World Bank began imposing their poisonous conditions on Belgrade in the late 1980s:
		What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and when we engage in the manipulation of elections in foreign countries -- as we did routinely during the Cold War through the CIA -- we are only corrupting ourselves, and eventually will have to take responsibility for the results.
		Now, by doctoring the results of last Sunday’s election, refusing to accept defeat and demanding a second round of voting, the populist demagogue revealed himself to his countrymen as a tyrant hiding behind the trappings of democracy.
