 Governor General Cartoons
Because the Governor General doesn't really have a political role, he or she is rarely in the public spotlight, and as a result cartoons of the GG are not very common.
Historically, the Governor General was supposed to be the emissary of the British monarch to Canada.
The Governor General can then accept his resignation and call new elections, or appoint a new Prime Minister, or refuse the resignation (the last two powers are never used, but remain part of the GG's "reserve" constitutional authority).

 TIJ Book: Chapter 10
In a Saskatchewan of substantial differences among the populations of constituencies, with a bias toward the rural, this was not a natural majority, and the NDP was typically only elected when it ran against two opposition parties that split the vote.
Saskatchewan's pursuit of innovative strategies can also be seen in the adoption of governmental investment in energy resources during the mid 1970s, in an environment of perceived scarcity of oil and gas and therefore energy generally.
Saskatchewan was found to have been an administrative innovator, based on having created and adopted early 34 innovations, and to have exhibited the trait of innovativeness, more than would have been expected of a government of its size, and more than have been identified for any other governments of any size at the time.

 ipedia.com: Monarchy in Canada Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Today, virtually all of the Queen's Canadian duties are performed by her representatives in Canada, the Governor General and the Lieutenant Governors of the provinces, though occasionally the Queen's authority is appealed to by Canada's partisan political leaders.
A key moment was the Queen's visit to Quebec City in 1964 when she was greeted by anti-monarchist demonstrations and the route of her procession was lined with Quebecers showing their backs to the monarch.
Consequently, the 2004 election platforms of the main political parties focused far more upon the reform or abolition of the Senate appointment of Supreme Court judges, and the powers of provincial governments, than on the future of the monarchy.

 Rabble: Health Care
For example, in the preceding election, in 1964, in the preparation for that election, which was under Kennedy, and the actual election, which happened to be under Johnson, the U.S. intervened massively to try to prevent Allende from winning.
That's a measure of the extent of the U.S. intervention to disrupt the election of 1964.
Then they'll even be able to run a democratic election, if people are sufficiently intimidated, popular organizations are sufficiently destroyed, and people get it beaten into their heads that either you accept the rule of those with the guns and the gold-plated Cadillacs or else you suffer in unrelieved misery.

The Saskatchewan NDP is nearing the end of its fifteenth year of continuous power, and faces an election in 2007 or 2008.
As a new generation of leaders came to the fore in a new, less labour-friendly environment, labour asserted its political autonomy and affirmed the relative independence of its collective bargaining agenda.
As rural Saskatchewan continues to decline, and as the NDP’s political base in rural Saskatchewan continues to shrink and shift to the right, increased activity by labour in membership recruitment, nomination campaigns, and the grooming of future leaders could be much more effective than it has been in recent years.

 LE REVUE GAUCHE - Left Analysis And Comment: Business Unions Sell-out B.C. General Strike Summer 2004
They fail generally from limiting themselves to a guerilla war against the effects of the existing system, instead of simultaneously trying to change it, instead of using their organized forces as a lever for the final emancipation of the working class that is to say the ultimate abolition of the wages system.
Since their election in May 2000, the Campbell government has interfered directly in contract negotiations at least seven times, imposing contracts on registered nurses, medical technicians and teachers and forcing ferry workers and woodworkers into compulsory arbitration.
The new generation of workers which has arisen within the past 20 years has not had direct experience of that power, and thus, for the most part, is not convinced that it really exists.

 DGEQ - Right to vote of Québec women
The first woman to become a Member of the Legislative Assembly and the first to become a minister, she advanced the cause of women by tabling a bill which, in 1964, put an end to the legal incapacity of married women.

The political equality of women and their access to power have contributed to the evolution of legislation and have made it possible to initiate numerous measures that have helped Québec society to move forward.
