Sir Robert Borden's Conservatives and [[Liberal-Conservative]s] were unable to challenge the Liberals effectively, and lost a small portion of their popular vote, along with four seats.

Note:
"Previous" refers to the results from the previous election, and not to the standings in the House of Commons at dissolution.
The Canadian federal election, 2004 (more formally, the 38th General Election), was held on June 28, 2004 to elect members of the 38th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
Although the election was initially widely expected to be a relatively easy romp for Martin to a fourth consecutive Liberal majority government, during the campaign many began instead to predict a far more closely-fought election after the Sponsorship scandal broke out.
On election day, polling times were arranged to allow results from most provinces to be announced more or less simultaneously, with the exception of Atlantic Canada, whose results were known before the close of polling in other provinces.
The 1917 Canadian federal election (sometimes referred to as the khaki election) was held on December 17, 1917, to elect members of the 13th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons.
Described by historian Michael Bliss as the "most bitter election in Canadian history", it was fought mainly over the issue of conscription (see Conscription Crisis of 1917).
The election resulted in Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden's Unionist government elected with a strong majority, and the largest percent share of the popular vote for a single party in Canadian history.
