In April 1968, Prime Minister Lester Pearson of the Liberal Party resigned as party leader as a result of declining health and failing to win a majority government in two attempts. He was succeeded by his Minister of Justice and Attorney General Pierre Trudeau, who called an election immediately after becoming prime minister. Trudeau's charisma appealed to Canadian voters; his popularity became known as "Trudeaumania" and helped him win a comfortable majority. Robert Stanfield's Progressive Conservatives lost seats whereas the New Democratic Party's support stayed the same. Background Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson had announced in December 1967 that he would retire early in the following year, calling a new leadership election for the following April to decide on a successor. In February 1968, however, Pearson's government nearly fell before the leadership election could even take place, when it was unexpectedly defeated on a tax bill. Convention dictated that Pearson would have been forced to resign and call an election had the government been defeated on a full budget bill, but after taking legal advice, Governor General Roland Michener decreed that he would only ask for Pearson's resignation if an explicit motion of no confidence were called in his government. Ultimately, the New Democratic Party and Ralliement créditiste were not willing to topple the government over the issue, and even had they done so, Pearson would have been entitled to advise Michener not to hold an election until after the new Liberal leader had been chosen, but the incident made it clear that Pearson's successor could not feasibly hope to hold out until the next statutory general election date of November 1970, and would in all likelihood be forced to call an election much sooner.Robertson, Gordon; Memoirs of a Very Civil Servant; pp299-301 Pierre Trudeau, who was a relative unknown until he was appointed to the cabinet by Pearson, won a surprise victory over Paul Martin Sr., Paul Hellyer and Robert Winters in the party's leadership election on April 6. He was sworn in as prime minister on April 20. Parties and campaigns Liberals Trudeaumania November 2025 As had been widely expectedNovember 2025, Trudeau called an immediate election after he was sworn in as prime minister. Bilingual Trudeau soon captured the hearts and minds of the nation, the period leading up to the election being dubbed "Trudeaumania." The Liberal campaign was dominated by Trudeau's personalityNovember 2025. Liberal campaign ads featured pictures of Trudeau inviting Canadians to "Come work with me", and encouraged them to "Vote for New Leadership for All of Canada". The substance of the campaign was based upon a proposed expansion of social programs. Progressive Conservatives The principal opposition to the Liberals was the Progressive Conservative Party (PC Party) led by Robert Stanfield, who had previously served as premier of Nova Scotia. The PCs started the election campaign with an internal poll showing them trailing the Liberals by 22 points.Stevens 1973 213 Stanfield proposed introducing guaranteed annual income, though failed to explain the number of citizens that would be covered, the minimum income level, and the cost to implement it. Due to concerns that the term "guaranteed annual income" sounded socialist, he eventually switched to using the term "negative income tax". These mistakes made the policy hard for voters to understand and harmed the PCs. What also damaged the PCs was the idea of deux nations (meaning that Canada was one country housing two nations - French Canadians and English-speaking Canadians). Marcel Faribault, the PCs' Quebec lieutenant and MP candidate, was unclear on whether he supported or opposed deux nations and Stanfield did not drop him as a candidate. This led to the Liberals positioning themselves as the party that supported one Canada. In mid-June, they ran a full-page newspaper advertisement that implied that Stanfield supported deux nations; Stanfield called the ad "a deliberate lie" and insisted he supported one Canada.Stevens 1973 216–221 New Democratic Party November 2025 On the left, former long-time Premier of Saskatchewan Tommy Douglas led the New Democratic Party. The ouster of Diefenbaker had damaged the PC brand in Saskatchewan and played a major role in allowing the NDP to overcome a decade of electoral failure at the federal level in Saskatchewan to win a plurality of seats thereNovember 2025. Nevertheless, these gains were balanced out by losses elsewhere in the country. Under the slogan, "You win with the NDP", Douglas campaigned for affordable housing, higher old age pensions, lower prescription drug prices, and a reduced cost of living. However, the NDP had difficulty running against the left-leaning Trudeau, who was himself a former supporter of the NDP. Douglas would step down as leader in 1971, but remained a powerful icon for New Democrats. Leaders' debate This was the first Canadian federal election to hold a leaders debate, on June 9, 1968. The debate included Trudeau, Stanfield, Douglas, and in the latter part Réal Caouette, with Caouette speaking French and Trudeau alternating between the languages. A.B. Patterson, leader of the Social Credit Party was not invited to this debate. The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy three days before cast a pall over the proceedings, and the stilted format was generally seen as boring and inconclusive.CBC Archives Electoral system In this election, for the first time since Confederation, all the MPs were elected as the single member for their district, through First past the post. Previously some had always been elected in multi-member ridings, such as in Halifax and the riding of Queen's (PEI), through plurality block voting. From here on, single-winner First past the post would be the only electoral system used to elect MPs.Parliamentary Guide 1969, p. 333–334; Parliamentary Guide 2011, p. 432-433 Contests No party fielded a full slate of candidates, and several anomalies arose: Lucien Lamoureux, Speaker of the House of Commons, opted to follow British tradition and stand for election as an Independent. The Liberals and PCs chose to respect that choice and not field candidates against him in Stormont—Dundas, but the NDP decided not to follow suit. John Mercer Reid, previously elected as a Liberal in Kenora—Rainy River, campaigned under the Liberal-Labour banner. Three ridings saw multiple candidates running under the same ticket: In Rocky Mountain, Douglas Caston and Hugh Gourley ran as PCs, and John McLeod and Collier Maberley stood as Independent Liberals. In Langelier, Guy Jean and Michel Roy ran as Créditistes. In Okanagan—Kootenay, Howard Earl Johnston and David Wilson McKechnie ran as Socreds + Candidate contests in the ridings General Election (1968-06-25) https://lop.parl.ca/sites/ParlInfo/default/en_CA/ElectionsRidings/Elections/Profile?election=1968-06-25 lop.parl.ca Library of Parliament May 4, 2025Candidatesnominated Ridings PartyLibIncluding Liberal-LabourPCNDPRC Ralliement créditisteSC Social CreditComm CommunistInd-Lib Independent-LiberalInd-PC Independent-PCInd IndependentOth Other minor parties, fielding fewer than 10 candidatesTotals 2 1 1 1 2 3 131 131 131 130 1 393 4 97 97 96 97 46 26 5 2 4 9 6 388 5 27 27 27 27 18 6 8 5 10 7 135 6 7 7 8 7 6 3 1 7 3 42 7 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 7 Totals 264 263 263 263 72 32 13 11 5 29 16 967 a National results The results of the election were sealed when on the night before the election a riot broke out at the St. Jean Baptiste Day parade in Montreal.August 2011 Protesting the prime minister's attendance at the parade, supporters of Quebec independence yelled Trudeau au poteau [Trudeau to the gallows], and threw bottles and rocks. Trudeau, whose lack of military service during World War II had led some to question his courage, firmly stood his ground, and did not flee from the violence despite the wishes of his security escort. Images of Trudeau standing fast to the thrown bottles of the rioters were broadcast across the country, and swung the election even further in the Liberals' favour as many English-speaking Canadians believed that he would be the right leader to fight the threat of Quebec separatism. The Social Credit Party, having lost two of the five seats it picked up at the previous election via defections (including former leader Robert N. Thompson, who defected to the Tories in March 1967), lost its three remaining seats. On the other hand, the Ralliement des créditistes (Social Credit Rally), the Québec wing of the party that had split from the English Canadian party, met with great success. The créditistes were a populist option appealing to social conservatives and Québec nationalists. They were especially strong in rural ridings and amongst poor voters. Party leader Réal Caouette campaigned against poverty, government indifference, and "la grosse finance" (big finance). The Canadian social credit movement would never win seats in English Canada again. Atlantic Canada bucked the national trend, with the Tories making large gains in that region and winning pluralities in all four Atlantic provinces. In that region, the Tory brand was strengthened by the leadership of former Nova Scotian premier Stanfield. Voters in Newfoundland, who were growing increasingly weary of their Liberal administration under founding Premier Joey Smallwood, voted PC for the first time since entering Confederation. This was the last election until 1993 in which the Liberals won at least 150 seats. center|300px PartyParty leader# ofcandidatesSeatsPopular vote1965DissolutionElected% Change#%Change CA Liberal row Liberal Pierre Trudeau 262131128 154+18.3% 3,686,801 45.37% +5.18pp CA PC row Progressive Conservative Robert Stanfield 263979472-25.8% 2,554,397 31.43% -0.98pp CA NDP row New Democratic Party Tommy Douglas 263212222 +4.8% 1,378,263 16.96% -0.95pp CA Ralliement créditiste row Ralliement créditiste Réal Caouette 7298 14+55.6% 360,404 4.43% -0.22pp CA Independent rowIndependent 29121- 36,543 0.45% -0.23pp CA Liberal row Liberal-Labour Pierre TrudeauJohn Mercer Reid won as a Liberal-Labour candidate but remained a member of the Liberal Party caucus, led by Pierre Trudeau. 1    1  10,144 0.12%  CA Social Credit row-name A.B.
