Results of the Canadian federal election, 2011
Encyclopedia
The 41st Canadian federal election was held on May 2, 2011. It resulted in a Conservative
majority government
under the leadership of Prime Minister
Stephen Harper
. It was the third consecutive election win for Harper, and with 166 of 308 seats, they will have a majority government for the first time in their eight-year history. It will also be the first centre-right majority government since the Progressive Conservatives
won their last majority in 1988. The Conservative Party won 39.62% of the popular vote, an increase of 1.96%, and posted a net gain of 24 seats in the House of Commons.
The election resulted in significant upheaval within the opposition parties, as the New Democratic Party
(NDP) rode an "orange surge" in the polls during the campaign to 103 seats, becoming Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition
for the first time in party history. The total eclipsed the party's previous best of 43 seats in 1988. The Liberals however were reduced to third party status nationwide. They returned only 34 MPs, less than half of what they had at dissolution. It was the first time in Canadian history that the Liberals were not one of the top two parties in the house. Green Party
leader Elizabeth May
won in her riding, becoming the first Green Party candidate elected to a governmental body in Canada, and to a national body in North America.
Following their staggering defeats, including losing their own seats, Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe
and Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff
both announced their resignations as party leaders. The result led to questions on the future of both parties, as observers considered whether this result was the beginnings of a two-party system
in Canada.
, won 166 seats - enough for the first Conservative majority government
since the Progressive Conservative-Canadian Alliance
merger that formed the party in 2003. Notably, the Tories made significant inroads in Toronto
, taking eight seats there. While the Tories had won a few seats in the Toronto suburbs since the PC-Canadian Alliance merger, this was the first time a centre-right
party had won seats in the former Metro Toronto itself since the PC meltdown of 1993. Combined with their traditionally heavy support in the west
, this was enough to win a 14-seat majority with 39.62 percent of the national popular vote - a result also notable for being the first time the modern Conservative party successfully polled a larger share of the vote than the combined tally of the PC and CA parties in the election preceding their merger
.
Despite winning a majority government, the Conservatives lost over half their seats in Quebec to the NDP, retaining only five seats in that province. The 161 seats won by the Tories outside Quebec is the largest number of seats (although not the largest proportion of seats) ever won by any party in English Canada
.
, emerging as a truly national party for the first time in its 50-year history
. They won 103 seats—more than double their previous high (when they won 43 seats in 1988
). Much of this was due to a breakthrough in Quebec
, a province where they had been more or less nonexistent for the better part of their history. From only one seat at dissolution
, the NDP took 59 of 75 seats there, dominating Montreal
and sweeping Quebec City
and the Outaouais. By comparison, the NDP had only won one other seat in Quebec in its entire history prior to 2011, and had not even been fully organized in the province since 1990 (when their Quebec wing seceded to preach sovereigntism). The 59 seats won by the NDP in Quebec is the most won by any party in that province since the Progressive Conservatives
won 63 seats there in 1988. In several cases, NDP candidates in Quebec who hadn't expected to win managed to win handily.
Among the new NDP MPs were several university students. Five members of the McGill University
NDP club—Charmaine Borg
, Matthew Dubé, Mylène Freeman
, Laurin Liu, and Jamie Nicholls—were elected from Montreal-area ridings. Also elected was Pierre-Luc Dusseault, a freshman at the Université de Sherbrooke
; his victory in Sherbrooke, Quebec
makes him the youngest MP in Canadian history
(he only turned 20 two days before he was sworn in).
However, they were unable to make much of an impact in their former western heartland. They actually lost Elmwood—Transcona
, the former seat of longtime MP and former deputy leader
Bill Blaikie
, by only 300 votes.
. They will sit as the third party
in the 41st Parliament
, the first since Confederation
where the Liberals will not form either the Government
or the Official Opposition
in the House of Commons. This was the worst showing for an incumbent Official Opposition party in terms of seats, and the lowest percentage for a national Official Opposition party (the Bloc Québécois in 1997
won more seats with a smaller vote share on account of its being a regional party).
The Liberals' poor showing was largely due to a collapse of their support in Montreal
and Toronto
, which had been the backbones of Liberal support for almost two decades. With few exceptions, their support in Toronto flowed to the Tories, while most of their base in Montreal switched to the NDP.
In 2008, they won 20 out of the 23 ridings fully or partially within Toronto. However, in 2011, they only won six, losing 6 to the NDP and 9 to the Conservatives. Additionally, after going into the election holding 30 of the 44 seats in the Greater Toronto Area
, but only won seven in 2011.
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff
lost his seat of Etobicoke—Lakeshore
to first time challenger Bernard Trottier by a margin of 5.27% of the total votes. Other famous MP's who also lost their seats are Ken Dryden
(York Centre
), Dan McTeague
(Pickering—Scarborough East
), Gerard Kennedy
(Parkdale—High Park
), Ujjal Dosanjh
(Vancouver South
) and Joe Volpe
(Eglinton—Lawrence
).
All told, the Liberals only won 11 seats in Ontario and seven in Quebec (all in Montreal)—the fewest the party has ever won in either province. They will go into the next Parliament holding only four seats west of Ontario (Winnipeg North
, Wascana, Vancouver Centre
and Vancouver Quadra
.
of four seats, only a third of the number required for official party status
. In many cases, they lost seats they held since their debut performance
in 1993. Notably, they lost all but one seat in the Montreal area, including all of their seats in the traditionally sovereigntist eastern part of the city. They also lost all or most of their seats in their longstanding strongholds in the rest of the province, such as Quebec City and central Quebec. Several Bloc MPs who had never had serious difficulty being reelected ended up losing their seats in landslides. With few exceptions, their support bled over to the NDP.
became the first Green Party member elected to the Canadian Parliament.
leader Michael Ignatieff
lost his riding of Etobicoke—Lakeshore
to Bernard Trottier, a Conservative
, and the following day he announced he would resign as Liberal leader. Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Bloc Québécois
and incumbent in Laurier—Sainte-Marie
was defeated by Hélène Laverdière of the NDP
and announced his intention to resign as leader of the Bloc.
Four Cabinet ministers, Lawrence Cannon
(Foreign Affairs
), Gary Lunn
(Sport
), Jean-Pierre Blackburn
(Veterans Affairs
and Agriculture), and Josée Verner
(Intergovernmental Affairs
and Francophonie) lost their seats. Lunn lost to Green Party
leader Elizabeth May
, and the NDP won the other three seats.

The Conservatives gained Calgary Centre-North
and Prince George—Peace River
, both vacated by long-standing Conservatives.
