Federal Constituencies with 5,000 or more Aboriginal Voters

This table identifies the remaining 21 out of 29 ridings with 5,000 or more Aboriginal voters in 1997. These ridings account for 37% of the Aboriginal vote. The remaining 63% is distributed widely among other constituencies. The vast majority of these constituencies are in western Canada and the North.

The ridings with the largest number of voters are not in the territories, but in the forest belt of northwestern Ontario, the northern prairies and the interior of British Columbia.

A significant number of urban ridings in Winnipeg, Edmonton and some Saskatchewan communities have over 5,000 voters.

Priority Constituencies

The significance of the Aboriginal vote cannot be measured only by size of voting population but also its relative importance.

We calculated the number of constituencies where the Aboriginal vote accounts for 5% or more of eligible voters. There are a total of 45 such constituencies in Canada in 2000.

These constituencies include all the 29 with 5,000 or more Aboriginal voters and several additional ones. Again, most are found in the west and the north. But there are a significant number of such constituencies in Ontario; 3 in Quebec, and 1 in Labrador, but none in the Maritime Provinces.

We ranked these constituencies based on the ratio of the Aboriginal vote in 2000 relative to the margin of victory of the winning candidate in 1997. This gives us an idea of the importance of the Aboriginal vote to the election outcome.

In 22 constituencies, the Aboriginal vote in 2000 is larger than the margin of victory in 1997.

Deshaies Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Scott See and Dr. Jacques Ferland An Abstract of the Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (in History) December 2019 The Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) was one of the most influential political parties in Canadian history. Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State.
  • Hopes and Fears in Canadian Politics

    Hopes and Fears in Canadian Politics

    J_ HOPES AND FEARS IN CANADIAN POLITICS By ERIC DENNIS F the fathers of Canada's political parties could look down from the galleries of Parliament or sit in with audiences on the hustings today they would view with alarm many of I the activities of their heirs and successors. Whether for good or bad, the policies proclaimed and practised by all parties and the methods by which they react to the policies of their opponents usually bear little resemblance to the principles laid down in their foundation charters. Perhaps Sir John A. Macdonald, George Brown and Alexander Mackenzie, Woodsworth and Aberhart would finally have to say they could do no better in this day and age, but it would take a lot of persuasion. In any event, they would probably extend their sympathies to those holwng their party reins because today the field of Canadian politics is not limited by national boundaries nor is a decision made today necessarily applicable tomorrow. Canada has become a big country in development and in her status among nations. And with it, Government has become a very big business-too big, it is apparent at timos, to wait for Parliament to make up its mind on some issues. 'l'he complexities involved in running a nation today are so great that often political parties are still trying to decide what stand to take on ono matter when another and bigger issue arises. Besides th.is, the more equitable distribution of wealth has drawn the political thinking of aU parties-except the Com­ munist Labor Progressive whioh is no longer representod in P arliament-into the same or almost parallel paths.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

    Small Worlds and Local Strongholds in Canadian Federal Politics: Deviations from General Patterns of Party Support in the 2000 Election

    Small Worlds and Local Strongholds in Canadian Federal Politics: Deviations from General Patterns of Party Support in the 2000 Election Munroe Eagles (SUNY – Buffalo) [email protected] and R.K. Carty (UBC) [email protected] Abstract It is striking that in all parties some candidates manage to enjoy local support that is considerably greater than their party's average performance in similar electoral districts. In this paper we identify who these candidates were in 2000 and explore the basis of their success. We begin by developing an ecological model that incorporates a range of socio- demographic, economic, political, and geographic variables to estimate the general pattern of support for each party. The ten most highly positive residuals (the difference between the actual level of party support and that predicted by the model) identify candidates and ridings which did significantly better than they should have. The magnitude of these deviations, and the variety of plausible explanations for them, draw attention to the complexity of Canadian election campaigns, and remind us of the need to incorporate influences from different geographic scales (including the local) if we are to fully understand electoral processes and outcomes. Paper prepared for the annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, May 30 – June 1st, 2003. Introduction Conventional accounts of federal elections and campaigns in Canada emphasize the importance of national factors in the determination of election outcomes. National party offices develop elaborate marketing schemes and distribute these to their candidates, infusing a national message in all corners of the country (Bell and Fletcher, 1991).
