The image File:Mjcoldwell.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

The map showing the results across Canada has one significant error. Significant, in that it would be easily visible even as a small image.
From 1905 until 1962, the majority of the Northwest Territories was not covered by a federal electoral district, and had no member of Parliament. The riding of Mackenzie River, created in 1952 (in effect as of 1953 election) by the division of the 1947 riding of Yukon-Mackenzie River, extended northward only to the edge of the mainland, and eastward only to the 102nd Meridian of longitude (at that time, the Mackenzie-Keewatin district boundary). The 1953, 1957 and 1958 elections used this small riding. The 1962, 1963, 1965, 1968, 1972 and 1974 elections reflected the riding of Northwest Territories, covering the entire landmass that in 1999 was divided to create Nunavut.

Another editor, without explaining how it applies, is of the opinion that WP:LEDE justifies an overlong introduction. The material after the first paragraph is simply background, and is not necessary to introduce the topic of the article. 17:45, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview. It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points—including any prominent controversies. The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources, and the notability of the article's subject is usually established in the first few sentences. Significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article. While consideration should be given to creating interest in reading more of the article, the lead should nevertheless not "tease" the reader by hinting at—but not explaining—important facts that will appear later in the article. The lead should contain no more than four paragraphs, be carefully sourced as appropriate, and be written in a clear, accessible style with a neutral point of view to invite a reading of the full article.
In the section on Social Credit, the party are labelled as "far-right." Do the contemporary sources use that descriptor? Neither of the pages on the federal Social Credit party, or the social credit movement in Canada include the term "far-right" at any point. The pages also make no mention of the party being extremist, anti-democratic, or even radical. On what basis is the party being described as such, seemingly solely in this article? Just using Newman's Renegade in Power (the source in the article that quotes St. Laurent) the former PM regarded Social Credit as a "right-wing" party.
