Canadian federal election, 2004: Information from Answers.com (2781 words)
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.
