Analysts ponder outcome of election in minority government scenario
Ottawa analysts weigh June 28 results as a possible Liberal minority or even a Liberal second-place win. Historical notes recall King-Byng 1925 and 1926 events showing how a governing party can stay in power with cross-party support or be replaced after a confidence loss.

Cypress Grasslands race shaped by health care and rail concerns
Cypress Grasslands candidates front a voter battle over health care funding and rail policy. NDP hopeful Jeff Potts, a former Ottawa staffer, argues for 25 percent federal cost coverage to curb service cuts. Conservative MP David Anderson cites provincial health care cuts. Green candidate Bev Courie pushes Kyoto Protocol and supply management. Potts accuses Mulroney era policy of fueling discontent, while rail policy fears warn of losing Canadian Wheat Board services if Conservatives win. Liberal candidate Bill Caton was unavailable for comment.

Metis leader apologizes after Hitler comparison in vote drive
Manitoba Metis Federation leader David Chartrand drew a Hitler comparison to Conservative campaign manager Tom Flanagan while urging aboriginals to support the Liberals. He later apologized noting his emotions got the better of him and stressing he did not intend to trivialize Holocaust suffering. The remarks came at a news conference with Grand Chief Dennis White Bird as they endorsed the Liberal party amid fears a Conservative win could threaten aboriginal rights.
