Elections dominated Canadian politics in 1996, despite there being no federal election. The fallout from Qu?bec's narrowly defeated referendum on sovereignty the previous year drifted across 1996's political landscape. At the same time, though barely half-way into their mandate from the 1993 Federal election, Jean Chr?tien's Liberal government gave every indication of gearing up for another vote in 1997.
