Patine Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 As it stands, fan-based scenarios on Canadian Federal Elections that are publically circulating (at least as far as I can find) only go back to 1972. This is a shame, as it misses a lot of good elections. Is there anyone in this community willing to take on any pivotal elections between 1867 (which comes with the 2008 PM4E game) and 1972. Some good PM's who ran in these elections include MacDonald, Laurier, Borden, King, Bennett, Diefenbaker, and Pearson. I'd also like to see some scenarios featuring the old Progressives, who were a significant presence for a while. I can tackle maybe a few, but I have a heavy workload of scenarios already. Anyone interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matvail2002 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 There is basically two things to know about early Canadian elections: 1)Transportation which was pretty much slow compared to today 2)The 19th century elections had a lot of uncontested elections I would like to see the following: 1874 1878 1896 1911 1917 1921 1926 1930 1940 1945 1957 1958 1962 1968 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper08 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm not 100% positive on this, but I think there was some talk or maybe even some initial work done on elections from the late 1950's a couple of years ago. If someone is interested in doing any of these, it would probably be a good idea to go back through the older pages just to check and see what was done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble of transport and lack of competition in certain ridings in the earlier elections could be an issue, but I'm sure some way could be found around it.

graemp Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I did the 1972 Canada scenario on the website which needed little work as it relied upon the 1974 scenario. I had started a number of historical Canada scenarios. In each case the ridings files were more or less completed. In most cases the issues and issue positions were not completed. I can't remember to what extent I had otherwise completed each but suffice to say, none would have been 'road tested' for authenticity. These scenarios are therefore NOT FOR PLAYING. But if anyone wishes to work on any one of the following please let me know; 1917, 1921, 1925, 1935, 1958, 1963, 1965, 1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patine Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 If you wish, send them all to me. I'll chug through them one at a time, as they're all elections I'd like to see in finished form. As my job's not very demanding, I have quite a bit of spare time. I should be able to get most of those in working form over several months. chandallah@netscape.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemp Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks Patine for your offer. I would be keen to see these tackled by someone who doesn't have a heavy workload of scenarios already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
