Talk:1867 Canadian federal election

Untitled

I reverted vandalism, and I also reverted a change from "the election was held on" to "the election ended on". In my view, and election is the choosing of officials through casting ballots, which happens in Canada generally on one day (with exceptions for advance voting). The period leading up to election day is the campaign. So the campaign ends on a particular day, but the election itself is held on that day. Ground Zero 17:35, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

I think there should be mention of the vacancy in Kamouraska due to rioting so therefore there were 181 seats with 65 in Quebec. Shipguy

A book I have just looked through shows some different results. It divided the results into "Government" and "Opposition", giving the government 134,269 votes and the opposition 131,364 votes and 2,584 votes for "other". It also give breakdown by province. I'm wondering if this may be more useful. I'm guessing what they have done is assigned the uknowns with the opposite party of the winner. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

There seem to be errors on this page: According to the Canadian government's website, George Brown ran in the riding of Yarmouth, not Oxford South. 72.12.138.2 (talk) 20:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Unsurity re Map

The present map has a legend which states orange as designating the Anti-Confederates, and depicts Nova Scotia in orange with an orange bar of 18 of the 19 seats. The article states that the Anti-Confederates won 18 of 19 seats in Nova Scotia. However, the orange bar on the map is labeled LIB. Is there a rationale for this, or is it a mistake in need of remedy? 75.154.84.94 (talk) 11:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
