 Live from the Nuke Free Zone: Canadian General Election - Epilogue
The main one was that the election was so insanely close in some ridings that recounts were necessary; the other reason is that I wanted to see how the various parties and party leaders were going to react to things.
The problem is, going into the election the Liberals were hurting badly from the sponsorship mess, and as a result were expected to get at best a minority government, with the worst case being a Conservative minority or majority.
Martin, still the prime minister, noted that the election was a time for voters to "pass judgement," and interpreted the election not as a mandate but as a rebuke and cautious permission to continue to exist.

 Elections Canada On-Line | Past Elections
In the case of an election by acclamation, for instance, the number of registered electors on the lists for that electoral district was included in the total number of registered electors for some elections, but not for others.
Voter turnout figures have been corrected where appropriate: to estimate turnout in these cases, the total number of votes cast in a plural-member electoral district was divided by the number of members elected from that district (see Scarrow 1962).
This percentage rises to 70.9 when the number of electors on the lists is adjusted to account for electors who had moved or died between the enumeration for the 1992 referendum and the election of 1993, for which a separate enumeration was not carried out except in Quebec, as the 1992 electoral lists were reused.

 Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Canadian provinces born in language debate
The issue was such a smouldering one, and of such potential damage in Quebec, that it nearly toppled the Liberal government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the politician-in-full who had just won a thundering majority.
The wreckage for Laurier was the growing impression in Quebec, fuelled by rival Henri Bourassa, that he had too often caved in to English-Canadian bigotry.
While Quebec would still stick with him and help him win his fourth election in 1908, Laurier was in effect finished as a national leader.
