Top Five Federal Elections in Canada
Shortly before calling the election, Prime Minister Paul Martin
suggested in an interview that the 2004 federal election was
the most important election in Canadian history. That got us
wondering which elections might be considered the most important.
Not feeling qualified to answer that question ourselves, we posed
the question to two groups of people we felt were eminently qualified
to answer. We sent e-mails to the most popular mailing lists
of Canadian political scientists and Canadian historians and
asked them to send us their list of the top five elections in
Canadian history in order. Altogether, we had thirty-seven responses.
This is a completely unscientific survey, but there was a surprising
level of agreement among many of the respondents. We tabulated
the results by giving first choices five points, second choices
four points, and so on.
Join us as we count
down the top five elections in Canadian history.
