This article's AFD debate got consensus to keep. Johnleemk | Talk 12:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
It looks somewhat messy in the parliaments where the ruling party changed. Is there some way to make all of the years line up with each other (other than turning the thing into a table)? - arctic gnome 00:48, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
When do people think that we should start calling the "Conservative/Liberal-Conservative" just "Conservative"? Do we bother using both names when the coalition is in opposition? Do we use the full name when the "Conservatives" had enough seats to have formed government by themselves without the help of the "Liberal-Conservatives"? In the 12th Canadian Parliament, the "Liberal-Conservatives" only had one seat, but they were still part of the coalition, do we use the name then? -arctic gnome 01:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
This list wasn't featured on WP:FLC because there are discrepancies between the information in it and the information given on one of its references, specifically the list of Leaders of the Opposition. Some work needs to be done to clarify any conflicts that exist between this list and its source. TheGrappler 18:52, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
This should be a featured list now. How does it get one of those little stars at the top right of the page? -- Arctic Gnome 22:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm new to this subject but I have two comments about this great list.
1st Canadian Parliament
— elected
1867

sessions

I want to add a column about what other parties had official party status in each parliament. However, if we make the list any wider it won't show up right on small menitors, so would anyone oppose getting rid of the speakers column? Who the speaker is isn't really a critical piece of information and anyone interested can just go look at the list of speakers. -- Arctic Gnome 17:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
See the 39th Canadian Parliament Talk page, for discussion. GoodDay 20:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to (in the next few days), begin adding the Canadian Senators (past & present), to the 1st through 39th Canadian Parliments. It will take a long, long, long time. Put I'll give it a try. GoodDay 22:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
What parties make up the coalition? I heard that a major party and and minor party joined together to take over parliament in Canada? What is the voting block? Seems this is a major hole in the info on this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.131.1.131 ( talk • contribs) 08:59, April 6, 2007 (UTC).
"Brian Mulroney used a never-before used clause in the Constitution" <-- could this mention which clause is the one in question? Padraic · talk 14:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that, in the appendix Leaders of the Official Opposition in the House of Commons Since 1873 at the Library of Parliament site, there is a footnote:
In the First Parliament, following the general election of 1867, the Members who sat in the House opposite the government of Sir John A. Macdonald did not constitute a party but a coalition of various interests, just as the government did ....
Should this be reflected in the Wikipedia article? -- Big_iron ( talk) 14:33, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
About half of the images on this page have descriptions which include a legend showing which party is represented by each colour. For instance, /info/en/?search=File:Chambre_des_Communes_1867.png
However, the following images don't include such a legend: /info/en/?search=File:Cdn1908.PNG /info/en/?search=File:Cdn1911.PNG /info/en/?search=File:Cdn1980.PNG /info/en/?search=File:Cdn1984.PNG /info/en/?search=File:Canada_1988_Federal_Election_seats.svg /info/en/?search=File:Canada_1993_Federal_Election_seats.svg /info/en/?search=File:Cdn1997.PNG /info/en/?search=File:Cdn2000.PNG /info/en/?search=File:Elec2004.PNG /info/en/?search=File:Canada_2006_Federal_Election_seats.svg /info/en/?search=File:40th_Can_House.svg /info/en/?search=File:41st_Can_House.svg /info/en/?search=File:Parliament_Of_Canada_Seating_Plan_2015_(With_Speaker_Included).svg /info/en/?search=File:Canadian_House_of_Commons_2019_standard.svg /info/en/?search=File:44th_Canadian_Parliament.svg
The description for one image ( /info/en/?search=File:Canada_2006_Federal_Election_seats.svg) says: > See Canadian Parliament legend. The independent is André Arthur.
...but that "Canadian Parliament Legend" page doesn't exist.
I've never edited Wikipedia, and I also don't know where the images originally came from, so I don't know how to fix this. I can poke at it a bit though, I see some of the images say stuff like: > This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. Information from its description page there is shown below.
...so maybe the ones with missing descriptions just need to be tracked down on Wikimedia Commons and the descriptions copied over, or something... Bayersglassey ( talk) 00:53, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
