| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The1904 Canadian federal election was held on November 3, 1904, to elect members of theHouse of Commons of Canada of the10th Parliament ofCanada.Prime Minister SirWilfrid Laurier led theLiberal Party of Canada to a third term in government, with an increased majority, and over half of the popular vote.
SirRobert Borden'sConservatives andLiberal-Conservatives were unable to challenge the Liberals effectively, and lost a small portion of their popular vote, along with four seats, including his own.[2] Borden re-entered parliament the next year in aby-election.
This was the last election until1949 in which parts of theNorthwest Territories were granted representation in the House of Commons. During this parliament, most of the settled region of the NWT was hived off the NWT as the provinces ofAlberta andSaskatchewan on 1 September 1905, although the NWT MPs continued to sit as representatives of their old ridings until the 10th Parliament's dissolution.
One of the key issues in the election wasImperial Preference.[2]
