In , Harper led his party through a fifth election, which saw the Conservatives defeated at the polls and returned to the opposition benches. The Liberals, after falling to third-party status in the previous election , returned to power with a majority government of their own. I am currently a student who is looking for opportunities to learn and grow. I have had many volunteer experiences in the past such as volunteering at a food bank, volunteering at a hospital, and cleaning cats at Petco.
I enjoyed these activities due to me realizing that there is more that I can contribute to the community if I am willing to step outside the box. I love being a helping hand and I am currently spending most of my time studying and exercising. I enjoy activities in groups which I am currently and officer for pre-med club and international students club. Taking on these activities has really helped me connect with my classmates at Harper.

It's impossible to know how much of an impact Layton's death a few months after the election had on the future of the NDP, or whether he would have avoided his successor Thomas Mulcair's fate in the election.
But with Layton gone and the Conservatives in office, discussion in some progressive circles turned to the need to unite the left in order to put up a common front against Harper. Cullen finished third in the NDP leadership race and Joyce Murray was the runner-up in the vote that tapped Trudeau for the Liberal leadership. But the desire to unite the left was based on some faulty premises. One of them had to do with turnout. Low voter turnout in and benefited the Conservatives and their disproportionately older base, so a divided left seemed at the time to be a huge obstacle for the Liberals and New Democrats.
But turnout spiked in and to 68 and 67 per cent, respectively, after registering around 60 per cent in the two previous elections. Much of that increased participation benefited the Liberals. History doesn't always repeat itself but it has been a pretty reliable guide. The Liberals were able to win in and despite a divided left.
They also managed wins in , , and when the NDP was putting up above-average results. On top of that, the notion of an unbeatable Conservative Party ran contrary to Canada's political history. Not since the death of John A. Macdonald have the Conservatives enjoyed more than 10 consecutive years in government.
Immediately after the election, however, the trend lines appeared to be going in the right direction for the Conservatives and the wrong direction for the Liberals. The Liberals had lost seats and votes in four consecutive elections as the Conservatives gained. But the sample size offered by a few elections led to some premature political obituaries, based on the assumption that the Conservatives would remain strong, the NDP had finally arrived and that the Liberals and Bloc would be consigned to the dustbin of history.
There were reasons to believe at the time that marked the moment " when the gods changed " — the beginning of the end for the Liberal Party. Western democracies were increasingly being polarized between left and right and in the United Kingdom — the "mother of all Parliaments" — the Liberals had been replaced by the Labour Party decades earlier.
With support for independence waning, the Bloc also seemed like an anachronism whose time had run out — if one ignored the fact that Quebec has a long history of distinct parties at the federal level. The election hasn't turned out to be the kind of political re-alignment some predicted. The demographic changes that were supposed to make the Conservatives the 21st century's "natural governing party" haven't benefited them — because the Liberals adapted to those changes, as all successful parties do.
Many of the conclusions drawn from the election were based on what was a very unusual electoral map — one that upended the normal dynamics of Canadian elections. For example, the Conservatives were able to win a majority government with very little representation from Quebec. The party elected just five Quebec MPs and would have secured enough seats in the rest of the country for a majority government without a single one of them — suggesting that the province need not form an important part of the party's electoral strategy going forward.
But the Conservatives have won majority governments without significant delegations from Quebec on just two occasions. The election in — when the country was fiercely divided between English and French Canada over conscription — was the first. The election was the second. Do Not Show Again Close.
