| | 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. | | | 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. | | | However, under the U.S. Constitution the powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the states, whereas in Canada the federal government has law-making powers over matters not assigned exclusively to the provinces. |

| | The New Democratic Party has been competitive in British Columbia since 1935, when (as the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation) it first contested a federal election and captured one-third of the popular vote. | | | But Easterners could be staying-up well past their usual bed-times on election night, 2004, waiting for returns from the distant Pacific province. | | | Where Martin and Layton both seem to revel in political debate and electioneering, Harper often acts as though politicking is just slightly less painful than a visit to the dentist. |
