1991 New Brunswick general election

The 1991 New Brunswick general election was held on September 23, 1991, to elect 58 members to the 52nd New Brunswick Legislative Assembly, the governing house of the province of New Brunswick, Canada.

As expected, the Liberal Party won a large majority. Many were surprised that the Confederation of Regions Party formed the official opposition. Though they ran even with the PCs in popular vote, their concentration of support in rural anglophone ridings gave them considerably more seats. Weir's personal popularity and name recognition was not enough to give her party more seats as she, and the Tories, had votes relatively evenly spread around the province.

Background
Though Frank McKenna's Liberals were expected to win a second term after sweeping all 58 seats in 1987, any of the other three parties were considered contenders for official opposition.

The New Democratic Party was led by Elizabeth Weir, who had been the strongest and most consistent voice of opposition to the Liberals since her election as party leader in 1988. In the ensuing three years, thanks to the lack of opposition members in the legislature (MLAs), her firebrand style had made her a well-known name in New Brunswick politics.

The fledgling Confederation of Regions Party had been created out of the ashes of the Hatfield Tories when the latter went from majority government to zero seats in 1987. CoR was running numerous former Tory MLAs and candidates, and even some former Tory cabinet ministers. Its base of support was in English-speaking regions of New Brunswick, where many conservatives had become alienated by Hatfield's close relationship with Acadians.

The Progressive Conservatives had been in power for the majority of years since confederation, and 17 straight years before 1987. Even so, the scandals of the final Hatfield years and the growing unpopularity of the federal Progressive Conservatives hindered their success. Additionally they had perceived internal problems having gone through four leaders since the last election: Hatfield, then two-year interim leader Malcolm MacLeod then Barbara Baird, and then Dennis Cochrane.

Close results
A number of races were close 2 or 3 way contests with only a small fraction of votes separating the winner from the losers. The tables below highlight the seats that the three major parties missed by less than 10 percentage points (pp) and the margins between them and the winner.

1947 Jerusalem riots

The 1947 Jerusalem Riots occurred following the vote in the UN General Assembly in favour of the 1947 UN Partition Plan on 29 November 1947. 8 Jews were reported killed.

The Arab Higher Committee declared a three-day strike and public protest to begin on 2 December 1947, in protest at the vote. Arabs marching to Zion Square on December 2 were stopped by the British, and the Arabs instead turned towards the commercial center of the City at Mamilla and Jaffa Road, burning many buildings and shops. Violence continued for two more days, with a number of Jewish neighborhoods being attacked.

The New York Times, December 3, 1947, has a three column headline on the front page: "JERUSALEM TORN BY RIOTING; ARABS USE KNIVES, SET FIRES; JEWS REPLY, HAGANAH IN OPEN" with subheads that include: "14 Are Slain In Day" "8 Jews Reported Killed in Palestine Clashes – Mob Loots Shops" etc.

A consequence of the violence was the decision by the Haganah Jewish paramilitary organization to use force to "stop future attacks on Jews". The Irgun had conducted armed attacks aimed against population of nearby Arab villages and a bombing campaign against Arab civilians. On December 12, Irgun militants placed a bomb at the Damascus Gate that killed 20 people.

Campbelltown railway station

Campbelltown railway station is located on the Main Southern line, serving the Sydney suburb of Campbelltown. It is served by Sydney Trains T8 Airport & South line services and NSW TrainLink services to Moss Vale, Goulburn, Canberra, Griffith and Melbourne.

History
Campbelltown Railway Station was briefly the southernmost extent of Great Southern Railway of New South Wales being situated at the end of the Liverpool to Campbelltown railway extension completed in 1858.

The station opened on 4 May 1858 with services commencing 17 May 1858. Preparations for the opening of the railway station commenced after a 3pm meeting at the Court House on 12 March 1858. In the meantime, the railway was progressing towards completion with the Chief Commissioner, Chief Engineer, and railway officials having inspected the progress of station construction on 29 April 1858.

The opening included an afternoon banquet, "with every delicacy upon the table which the colony can produce will be held in the goods station (which has been placed at the disposal of the committee by the Commission).", an evening ball, "upon a scale which would do credit to a much larger town than we can boast of", a band placed on an elevated platform, and separate male and female areas with each area to be waited upon by a man-servant and female respectively.

The revised Great Southern Railway timetable for the opening of the railway listed seven down, and seven up, services; five passenger services, and two mixed services. The journey time from Sydney was 1 hour 45 minutes with 8 stops for a 34-mile journey length. Services from Campbelltown commenced at 6am and finished at 5:30pm. However, soon after opening, the travel time had become 2 hours with services commencing at 6:50am and finishing at 5:45pm and the loss of a goods/mixed service.

Between 1882 and 1963, it was the junction station for the Campbelltown-Camden line.

On 5 May 1968, the Main South line was electrified from Liverpool. It was the extremity of the Sydney suburban network until extended to Macarthur opened in July 1985. However many services still terminate at Campbelltown.

In June 1999, an upgrade to the station including lifts was complete.

In January 2013, the Southern Sydney Freight Line opened on the western side of the station. The station is surrounded by an extensive network of sidings to stable terminating Sydney Trains rolling stock.

Since the second half of 2017, Campbelltown railway station has been served exclusively by the Airport and East Hills line, meaning commuters have to change at Glenfield to travel to either the city via Granville or to Blacktown via the Cumberland Line.

Platforms and services
To the west of the station is Campbelltown Yard, a large rail yard where trains are parked overnight and during the off-peak. The Southern Sydney Freight Line (leased to Australian Rail Track Corporation) also runs through Campbelltown Station. It has no platforms (as it is a freight line) and passes to the west of Campbelltown Yard. There are also a number of sidings and refuges around Campbelltown. Some of these sidings, such as the perway siding and the goods siding (the two dead ends north of the station), are unelectrified, and rarely used. There are no signals permitting a movement into the perway siding (the northern one), so the catch points must be manually closed after receiving permission from the signaller. The other siding is connected to platform 4, a dock platform used by terminating Southern Highlands line trains. All platforms at Campbelltown are long enough for 8 car suburban trains, with the exception of platform 4, which is around 100m long, enough to fit 4 Endeavour cars.

Talk:The Greatest Canadian

List
I was wondering, I'm thinking of removing the initial list of suggested Greatest Canadian nominees since it is redundant with List of Canadians and the short list has been announced. Do you think it should go? - User:Kchishol1970

 * I think so, for sure. The contest is over, I don't think it makes much sense to have a list of people who "could" have been chosen. It's pretty pointless.

 * If anything it should be merged with the list of Canadians, like you said. user:J.J.

 * We could have the selected Canadians in the List of Canadians article bolded to indicate their selection in The Greatest Canadian poll.

On another matter, SCTV ran on CBC for one season (it was the network that made the can-con demands that created Bob and Doug McKenzie) and John Candy was part of the cast at that time. So, it should be listed as among his major appearances on CBC and I'm changing it accordingly. -User:Kchishol1970

Is this true "The top 10 were presented deliberately out of vote numerical order for the purposes of the series." ? Earl Andrew 21:49, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Of course. The top 10 were present alphabeticaly on the show on Sunday.  And the reason for that is it creates a level playing field for the lobbying for the Greatest Canadian -User:Kchishol1970
 * I got the impression that this statement meant they were in some sort of "numerical order", although I am aware it was done alphabetically. I think the wording of that sentence is wrong. Earl Andrew 04:25, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * It is not. I wrote that sentence to say while 11-50 are listed numerically by the number of votes for each, the producers refrained from doing the same to the 10 ten to avoiding prejudicing the voters and since the series format was explained above, explaining would be redundant. -User:Kchishol1970

Ohmyfreakingawdinheaven, what in blazes did Anne C. Cools ever do to deserve getting on this list? Bearcat 08:05, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Was she not the first African Canadian senator? Earl Andrew 21:29, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, and the infinitely more deserving Rosemary Brown was the first African Canadian (and the first woman of any racial background) to run for the leadership of a political party, and the first black woman elected to a provincial legislature. Or Lincoln Alexander. Or Alvin Curling. Or Howard McCurdy. There are literally dozens of "first African Canadian" candidates who deserve to be on that list more than a dippy lunatic like Anne Cools does. Bearcat 23:30, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

"Unlike other "Greatest" projects in other countries however, the "Greatest Canadian" will not be decided by a simple popular poll, and will instead be chosen through a two-step voting process."

 * Er, this is exactly how it ran in Britain.

Just Curious

I am just curious why there are a few people on this list (Alexander Graham Bell, Tecumseh) who were not born in Canada. What is the definition of a Canadian? I mean, in the case of Bell, he moved to Canada when he was 23; and in the case of Tecumseh, he lived before Canada was officially a country and therefore never officially resided there. Were they just running out of people?

 * Tommy Douglas, the Greatest Canadian, was not born in Canada either. :-p

 * I thought the article and program were quite clear on the definition of a Canadian; someone whose name was submitted to the contest. Corvus

Earl Andrew 03:59, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Shania Twain and not Robertson Daives?
Indeed. I'm from Nashville, Tennessee and I'm embarrassed. God forbid that they should try "the Greatest Amercian". We'd no doubt get Kurt Cobain ahead of Aaron Copeland and Howard Stern ahead of James Madison. Rlquall 01:17, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Tecumseh & Canada
The article currently says Tecumseh "never resided in Canada". Well, he did, sort of, in a certain respect: the Quebec Act of 1774 annexed the Ohio Country—Tecumseh's homeland—as part of Quebec. So, from the point of view of the British ministry, if no one else, Tecumseh lived in Quebec from 1774-1783. That's my pedantic trivia for today. You be the judge if the wording should be adjusted to something like Tecumseh "never resided in what is now Canada." --Kevin Myers 10:13, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Tommy Douglas
While Tommy did make #1 (I played my small little part!), is it really necessary to have a paragraph on him and his life on there - there's several links to the Tommy Douglas article in the article - after all it's an article about the *show* The Greatest Canadian, not an article *about* the greatest Canadian. --Canuckguy 06:24, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It would be good to summarize the accomplishments of the top 10, to a max of 75 words each. It's essentially the equivilent of plot summaries for fictional series. --  Zanimum 22:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

fair-use images (cleanup)
Per the licensing of the majority of the images used here ... they can't be. Fair-use licensing on each image states in what fashion using them constitutes fair-use, and this image-gallery-esque article is not one of them. —  pd_THOR  undefined | 23:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Gretzky is totally the greatest Canadian. Too bad I didn't vote. Douglas A. Whitfield 23:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Criticizm and comments section
The second reference for the article is broken, and leads to a JJ McCullough website dedicated to Indonesian online gambling. Someone (who's better at wikipedia than me) may want to try and fix that. Just a thought. A thought I think is good. I hate seeing JJ McCullough satisfied in any way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.170.198.19 (talk) 15:05, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

This article has no sources meaning anyone could have just made stuff up and put it there. I was going to delete this (and will if no one has a reasonable objection) section but I decided to put this message on this talk page and see if anyone objects first.-- eskimospy  ( talk  •  contribs ) 23:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with your concerns but perhaps it is better for now to just put an Unreferenced tag on the section -- that way whoever wrote it will have time to find citations for the information in that section. It seems less drastic that way.  Although I don't have time to go researching it, I'd guess that at least several of the "Comments and criticisms" mentioned could be found in some Canadian media story about the TV special, e.g. from cbc.ca or globeandmail.com.  Spebudmak 14:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds good.--Eskimospy Bot 00:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

NPOV edit
The term "abortionist" is used exclusively by opponents of abortion, and therefore it's not NPOV to describe Henry Morgentaler as such (see the "Worst Canadians" section). I'm going to substitute it with "physician and pro-choice advocate" (which is how the Wikipedia page on him describes him). Dkostic (talk) 03:38, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * My goodness, what a false non sequitur! 69.253.219.207 (talk) 09:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Full list
Currently, there is no list of who were considered before voting. But shouldn't there be the voted top 100 list, still? It was once here, I then checked the sports persons, for example #19 was Bobby Orr, #23 Maurice Richard, #38 Mario Lemieux and #53 Gordie Howe among others. Most other countries "Greatest" -articles have the whole voted lists, Germany's Unsere Besten has even top 200. 46.132.78.122 (talk) 19:20, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
