Talk:2006 Canadian federal election

"It involves four parties, and no two party coalition holds a majority of the seats."

This statement is not entirely true. The Liberal-NDP bloc and the Conservative-BQ bloc both fall short of a majority, but neither are in formal coalition. A Liberal-Conservative or Liberal-BQ bloc would present a majority and is a very distinct possibility on some issues. The Liberals and Conservatives will vote together against the BQ and NDP on child porn legislation and, if the government should support it, the US Missile Defence program. I am not sure if this is worth noting in the article as, so far, on confidence matters it has aligned as Liberal-NDP vs Conservative-BQ with independent Chuck Cadman holding the balance of power.

Date in title

I realize the 'pedia standard is to have the year of the election in the title, but there is nothing saying the 39th general election will be this year. Is there any other way we could title this and keep within naming standards? Radagast 13:17, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

I feel that moving it to "39th Canadian federal election" would probably be best. - SimonP 15:49, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

A good guide could be UK general election, 2005/06.. not sure what we'd call it though because it could be anything right up to 2009... I think Canadian federal election, 2005/6/7/8/9 would be a bit cumbersome!! - Jord 18:57, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I agree with SimonP on this - 39th general is a good approach, and the article should be moved to the year format when the election is eventually called. Kevintoronto 17:05, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
