| | Elections in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | By-elections can be held between general elections when seats become vacant. | | | The election changes the political landscape as ex-Mulroney cabinet minister Lucien Bouchard's separatist Bloc Québécois become the official opposition, and the upstart right-wing western protest Reform Party, led by Preston Manning, becomes the third party. | | | Prior to the adoption of the minimum of 36 days in law, there were six elections which lasted shorter periods of time, the last of which was the 1904 election which occurred many decades before this limit was imposed. |

| | Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in Canada - Elections to the House of Commons |
| | Although both the government and the National Assembly of Quebec rejected the agreements under which the Canada Act was passed and denounced the political legitimacy of the Constitution Act, 1982, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the province was legally bound by the Act. | | | The Parliament of Canada consists of a lower chamber, the House of Commons, whose members are directly elected by universal adult suffrage for a maximum term of five years, and an upper chamber, the Senate, whose members are appointed on a provincial basis and may hold office until they are 75 years of age. | | | 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. |

| | LifeSite Special Report - 7 Reasons Why Canadians Should Object to Elections Canada's 'Child Rights' Vote |
| | Elections Canada may state that they are simply teaching children about the democratic process, and are not engaged in the political interpretation with this "child rights" vote, but this is not the case. | | | Elections Canada is bypassing the provinces, school boards, as well as parents by unilaterally announcing the launch of this exercise. | | | Elections Canada has not indicated that it received prior approval by the provinces to enter the schools and conduct this National Election, in spite of the fact that public school resources would be utilized in this "child rights" vote. |

| | Women & Canadian Elections |
| | At the close of nominations for the 2006 election, there were 380 women and 1,254 men among the 1634 candidates confirmed by Elections Canada. | | | The first federal election in which women were able to vote and run as candidates was 1921. | | | The 1993 federal election witnessed the emergence of a significant gender gap in support for the new party of the right: women were much less likely than men to vote Reform, a trend that continued in the 1997 federal election. |

| | Bill C-2: The Canada Elections Act (LS-343E) |
| | In his report on the 1997 federal general election, the Chief Electoral Officer proposed that consideration be given to including in the Canada Elections Act provisions governing third-party intervention during an election campaign, perhaps based on the Referendum Act example. | | | In 1998, the Supreme Court of Canada, in a 5-to-3 decision, struck down a prohibition on a publication of opinion polls during the last 72 hours of an election campaign (Thomson Newspapers). | | | The permanent staff of Elections Canada is relatively small, but provision is made in clause 20 for the hiring of casual and temporary staff during an election. |

| | Nor does the federal government, through Elections Canada, have the right to engage Canada in the validation of what constitutes an illegal and illegitimate US-led war. | | | In this regard, Jean-Pierre Kingsley, Chief Electoral Officer of Elections Canada, describes the function of election observation missions as follows: "The participation of an international body (in overseeing elections) plays a fundamental role in legitimizing, on different levels, the process of democratization or the consolidation of the democratic structure of the country in question." | | | Regarding these "other war crimes", for which "the democratic process" serves as a shaky alibi, with the complicity of Elections Canada and its partner in the observation mission, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, constitute the most serious crimes under international law. |

| | A major Supreme Court case on the issue is pending but most Canadian bloggers - people who post news and opinion on personal websites - respected the federal ban, while at the same time saying the law seems an awkward attempt to govern 21st century communications with 19th century legislation. | | | There were also reports of a push, called by union leaders on the East Coast, to get union voters on the west coast to the polls in high numbers in that same election. | | | If the Liberals had won the election, I would not have been surprised to see them attempt to expand the provisions of the Elections Act to clamp down on bloggers. |
