Electoral Results of the 1998 Elections​

The federal Canadian elections are held once every five years within the country. The next election was to be held in 2001, however, after the resignation of Bianca Wright as Prime Minister and the dissolution of her party, the Nationalist Party of Canada, a snap-election was called to offer an early election. This call has been viewed by many in Canada as controversial, but following the global economic crisis and the many riots and even terrorist acts throughout Canada, it has also been viewed as a God-send. Many accuse Wright and her government for having brought Canada into debt and allowing mass riots in the large cities of Canada and making no effort to let the general population know of the current national situations. Furthermore, usually early elections would lead to opposing parties being unprepared, but for two years now the parties had been continuously attempting to remove Wright from power and were more than prepared for this election.

Many of the voters wanted a party that was central on the political compass, one that would continue Canada's strong military growth, recover its debts, and re-open the nation to the international community. However, the Liberal Party was still a party with low support in Canada due to the last early election and thus the majority of the votes went towards a new party - a party formed by the merging of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Reform Party. The amount of votes that the Conservative Party of Canada received from the election resulted in a mass majority within the House of Commons for the Conservatives. Another party that received many more votes than the last election was the New Democratic Party.

When the elections came to a close, Peter MacKay, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada became the new Prime Minister of Canada. Stephen Harper, co-leader of the Conservative Party would lead the nation as the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada.
