 Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in Canada - Elections to the House of Commons
Between <b>1962b> and 1980, eight federal elections were held in Canada, five of which (<b>1962b>, 1963, 1965, 1972 and 1979) resulted in minority governments, as no party won an absolute majority of seats in the House of Commons.

The 38th general election was called in May 2004 by Prime Minister Paul Martin, a former Finance Minister who was elected leader of the ruling Liberal Party in November 2003 and who has been in office since December 2003, when Jean Chrétien stepped down after ten years as head of government.

 The Dominion: Canada, Empire
According to Levant, "In the <b>1962b> Canadian election, US action played a role in the Conservatives' decline from a 208 seat majority to a 116 seat minority.
