Off the top of my head actually but I knew I was close... Fact is actually closer to theory nationmaster.com His surprising win of the 1990 election resulted in the Ontario New Democratic Party's first (and so far only) government in Ontario. Liberal premier David Peterson had called an early election only three years into his mandate due to his confidence of re-election. The early call was interpreted as a sign of arrogance by the electorate at large, and combined with a weak campaign and the recent Patti Starr Affair and Harbourfront Scandal, resulted in Rae and the NDP being vaulted into office with just 37 per cent of the popular vote. The opposite end of ridiculousness... complacentnation.com John George Diefenbaker wins biggest victory in history with 208 seats to 49, gets 53.6%* of popular vote.* A middle ground which becomes a waste of time... canadianencyclopedia.ca John George Diefenbaker wins election 116 seats to 100; defeats Lester Pearson with 37.3% of popular vote a minority government.... Had control of less than a majority of total seats... Here is a nice summary... parl.gc.ca whwre you can see that far less less than a true popular majority is required.... so I always cringe when I hear a politician say I have a mandate from the people... And this I offer just for fun.. policyalternatives.ca
