No that was done in the last few federal elections, with Canadians sweeping the Conservative Party under the rug, and letting the other parties, ie the National Alliance, humiliate themselves, mind you Stockton Day was even more clueless than the present nominee of the Republican party for the next presidential election.
As for the number of political parties, I've always followed the rules of Parliamentary Procedure for the Canadian House of Commons, "How to register a political party Forming a political party and registering a political party are completely different, in that there is no legislation regulating the formation of political parties. However, once a party is formed it may apply to be registered. After its registration is approved, the party will then be governed by rules under the Canada Elections Act. Applications for registration must be filed with the Chief Electoral Officer for verification and approval at least 60 days before the writs are issued. Once approved, a party earns the right to be included in the allocation of broadcasting time, to issue official tax receipts for donations, and to have its name included on the election ballot. It is important to note that official registration can take effect only the day after the new party officially nominates candidates in at least 50 electoral districts at a general election. When an application is filed less than 60 days before the writs are issued, registration cannot take effect for that general election. To maintain its registration, a registered political party must nominate candidates in at least 50 electoral districts at a general election. Under the law, failure to do so must result in deregistration of that party by the Chief Electoral Officer. There were 13 political parties registered before the 36th federal election was called, and four parties had been accepted for registration." Not sure where you get 37 parties from. But these are just the official ones - parties that were able to nomimate people to run in at least 50 ridings. larry >Ok. It's secret Candian speak.
