  Saskatchewan general election, 1982 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saskatchewan general election of 1982 was twentieth provincial election held in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
It was held on April 26, 1982, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.
Although the NDP managed to hold its share of the vote, it lost 35 of its 44 seats in the legislature because of the collapse in the vote of the Liberal Party, led by Ralph Goodale.

 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.

The Saskatchewan Archives is the repository for the Government of Saskatchewan's Photographic Services Agency which is an important source for documenting development in agriculture, industry, education, health, resources, recreation, transportation, the civil service, and natural history.

The Saskatchewan party was an outgrowth of the national party, though with an independent streak that reflected its particular environment.
Saskatchewan was then (and even now) a largely agricultural province dominated by wheat, sparsely populated, and ethnically diverse.
It is my own belief, that in general, the democratic movements of the left since the American Revolution were and are historically justifiable and necessary to attain the values of an economic and political and social democracy.

 Welcome to Saskatchewan, Canada
Saskatchewan is the middle province of Canada's three prairie provinces.
Saskatchewan has the same form of government as the other Canadian provinces with a premier, legislature, and lieutenant-governor.
The current premier of Saskatchewan is New Democrat Lorne Calvert, whose government was re-elected in the 2003 election with a slim majority government--the NDP won 30 seats in the 58-seat Legislative Assembly, while the Saskatchewan Party won the remaining 28 seats.

By 1982 the NDP was fully united in its support for the government, but it had exercised a great deal of self-control while it was in power, and no longer felt the dynamism nor served as a well of creative ideas for the government.
Saskatchewan monitored what other provinces had achieved through their agreements; at times it prepared and tabled with the federal government the outline of draft agreements.
Saskatchewan fought both for aboriginal and treaty rights for Indians and Metis and against an imposed federal constitutional Bill of Rights whose primary appeal was to the courts rather than through political accountability.

 Saskatchewan general election, 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saskatchewan general election of 1964 was the fifteenth provincial election held in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
While the CCF held on to most of their vote from the previous election, the collapse of the Social Credit Party appears to have helped the Liberals to a majority government, although the Liberals led the NDP by only 0.1% in the popular vote.
Lloyd was faced several challenges: the taxes in Saskatchewan were among the highest in Canada; spending on health care, welfare and education were high; and Lloyd lacked the popular support that previous CCF leader and premier Tommy Douglas had enjoyed.

Originally announced as “The Constitution Act, 1982 and Canada’s Continuing Constitutional Evolution,” the new title was chosen to better reflect the impact of the Constitution Act, 1982 on all aspects of Canadian politics and public policy.
With the proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1982, Canada achieved a domestic formula for amending its constitution, a constitutional recognition of aboriginal and treaty rights for the aboriginal peoples of Canada, and a constitutionally protected Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Several themes for the conference are being developed to examine the forces that led to the 1982 amendments, developments in human rights in Canada and internationally, the evolution of federalism, and the challenges of constitution-making in the current era.

 Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Canadian provinces born in language debate
So, in effect, Laurier's desire to have Alberta and Saskatchewan at least born under the same tolerant terms of Confederation was a symbolic gesture to Quebec.
Laurier argued that had Saskatchewan and Alberta joined Confederation in 1867 at the same time as the four founding colonies, they would have been granted the same deal for minorities.
The relative language tolerance that exists now in both Alberta and Saskatchewan, where French schools persist if not thrive, says something about the spirit of people being bigger than the times in which their political institutions - provinces - were created.
