Charles Patrick ( Paddy ) Neale ( January 21 , 1921 - February 9 , 1990 ) was a Canadian politician , who represented the electoral district of Vancouver East in the House of Commons of Canada from 1972 to 1974 .

The New Democratic Party ( NDP ; French : Nouveau Parti démocratique , NPD ) is a social-democratic federal political party in Canada . The party was founded in 1961 out of the merger of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) with the Canadian Labour Congress ( CLC ) . On the Canadian political spectrum , the party sits to the left of the Liberal Party . Since 2017 , the NDP has been led by Jagmeet Singh , who is the first Indo-Canadian to lead a major federal party in Canada . The federal and provincial ( or territorial ) level NDPs are more integrated than other political parties in Canada , and have shared membership ( except for the New Democratic Party of Quebec ) . Often the third- or fourth-largest party in Canada 's House of Commons , the NDP has never been in power at the federal level , but it has attained second-largest party status once . In the 2011 election under the leadership of Jack Layton , the NDP won the second most seats in the House , gaining the position of Official Opposition for the first time in the party 's history . The NDP subsequently lost 59 seats in the 2015 federal election and fell to third place in Parliament , though it was their second-best seat count to date . Following the 2019 election , the NDP held the balance of power as the Liberals won a minority government , although the party lost 15 seats and fell to fourth place behind the Bloc Québécois .
Vancouver East was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia , Canada . It first appeared on the hustings in the general election of 1933 .

Vancouver East was a two-member seat . For a full listing of Vancouver ridings , historical and current , please see Vancouver ( electoral districts ) .
The Royal Canadian Air Force ( RCAF ; French : Aviation royale canadienne , ARC ) is the air force of Canada . Its role is to provide the Canadian Forces with relevant , responsive and effective airpower . The RCAF is one of three environmental commands within the unified Canadian Armed Forces . As of 2013 , the Royal Canadian Air Force consists of 14,500 Regular Force and 2,600 Primary Reserve personnel , supported by 2,500 civilians , and operates 258 manned aircraft and 9 unmanned aerial vehicles . Lieutenant-General Al Meinzinger is the current Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force and Chief of the Air Force Staff . The Royal Canadian Air Force is responsible for all aircraft operations of the Canadian Forces , enforcing the security of Canada 's airspace and providing aircraft to support the missions of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Army . The RCAF is a partner with the United States Air Force in protecting continental airspace under the North American Aerospace Defense Command ( NORAD ) . The RCAF also provides all primary air resources to and is responsible for the National Search and Rescue Program . The RCAF traces its history to the Canadian Air Force , which was formed in 1920 . The Canadian Air Force was granted royal sanction in 1924 by King George V to form the Royal Canadian Air Force . In 1968 , the RCAF was amalgamated with the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Army , as part of the unification of the Canadian Forces . Air units were split between several different commands : Air Defence Command ( interceptors ) , Air Transport Command ( airlift , search and rescue ) , Mobile Command ( tactical fighters , helicopters ) , Maritime Command ( anti-submarine warfare , maritime patrol ) , as well as Training Command .

The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada ( French : Parti progressiste-conservateur du Canada ; PC ) was a federal political party in Canada . In 2003 , the party membership voted to dissolve the party and merge with the Canadian Alliance to form the modern-day Conservative Party of Canada . One member of the Senate of Canada , Elaine McCoy , sat as an Independent Progressive Conservative until 2016 . The conservative parties in most Canadian provinces still use the Progressive Conservative name . Some PC Party members formed the Progressive Canadian Party , which has attracted only marginal support .
Moose Jaw was a federal electoral district in Saskatchewan , Canada , that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1908 to 1953 and from 1968 to 1988 . This riding was created in 1907 from parts of Assiniboia West and Calgary ridings . It was abolished in 1952 when it was redistributed into Assiniboia , Moose Jaw - Lake Centre and Rosetown - Biggar ridings . It was re-created in 1966 from parts of Assiniboia , Moose Jaw - Lake Centre , Rosetown - Biggar , Rosthern , Saskatoon , and Swift Current ridings . The electoral district was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Moose Jaw - Lake Centre and Regina - Lumsden ridings .
Nels Edwin Nelson ( 7 September 1917 - 13 July 1992 ) was a New Democratic Party member of the House of Commons of Canada . He was a teacher by career . Nelson made two attempts to become a Member of Parliament at Alberta 's Wetaskiwin riding in the 1965 and 1968 federal elections . He was first elected at the Burnaby - Seymour riding in the 1972 general election and served in the 29th Canadian Parliament , but was defeated there by Marke Raines of the Liberal Party in the 1974 federal election and made no further attempts to return to federal office . On 13 July 1992 , Nelson died of a heart attack in Vancouver .
Burnaby - Seymour was a federal electoral district in the province of British Columbia , Canada , that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1968 to 1979 . This riding was created in 1966 from parts of Burnaby - Coquitlam , Burnaby - Richmond and Coast - Capilano ridings . The riding originally consisted of the eastern part of North Vancouver plus areas of Burnaby north of the Grandview Highway and Edmonds Avenue , west of Sperling and north of Pandora Street . That is , North Vancouver east of Lynn Creek plus the Burnaby Heights , Capitol Hill , Brentwood and Deer Lake neighbourhoods of Burnaby . The riding 's first election in 1968 , is notable for being a showdown between the former leader of the British Columbia Liberal Party , Ray Perrault , and federal New Democratic Party leader Tommy Douglas . Given that the North Shore portions of the riding were largely affluent and upper middle class in character and normally a Liberal bastion , Douglas ' strong showing is not so surprising given the working-class and labour background of much of even the better-off parts of the riding in Burnaby . When this riding was redistributed in 1976 , the resulting Burnaby riding consistently returned NDP candidates - this was Svend Robinson 's longtime seat . North Vancouver - Burnaby returned a Progressive Conservative member ( Chuck Cook ) since its creation until it was abolished in 1987 , as did its successor riding , the seat of North Vancouver until Reform Party member Ted White took over the seat on Cook 's retirement . In provincial politics , the equivalent area of North Vancouver was among the last holdouts of the provincial Liberal Party prior to it losing its support base to the Social Credit Party in the early 1980s . Jim Nielsen , who first unsuccessfully ran for the Progressive Conservative Party in Burnaby - Seymour in 1974 was subsequently elected in the 1975 provincial election as the MLA for Richmond . He was appointed as a cabinet minister and remained the MLA for Richmond until his resignation from provincial politics in 1986 .

The Army is supported by 3,000 civilian employees . It maintains regular forces units at bases across Canada , and is also responsible for the Army Reserve , the largest component of the Primary Reserve . The Commander of the Canadian Army and Chief of the Army Staff is Lieutenant-General Wayne Eyre . The name Canadian Army came into official use beginning only in 1940 ; from before Confederation until the Second World War the official designation was Canadian Militia . On 1 April 1966 , as a precursor to the unification of Canada 's armed services , all land forces , plus RCAF tactical units , were placed under a new command called Force Mobile Command . The Canadian Army persisted as a legal entity for two more years , before it amalgamated with the Royal Canadian Navy , and Royal Canadian Air Force to form a single service called the Canadian Armed Forces . Force Mobile Command was renamed Mobile Command in 1991-2 , and Land Force Command in 1993 . In August 2011 , Land Force Command reverted to the pre-1968 title of the Canadian Army .

The Liberal Party of Canada ( French : Parti libéral du Canada ) is the oldest and longest-serving political party in Canada . The party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada 's history , holding power for almost 70 years in the 20th century - more than any other party in a developed country - and as a result , it is sometimes referred to as Canada 's natural governing party . The party espouses the principles of liberalism , and generally sits at the centre to centre-left of the Canadian political spectrum , with the Conservative Party positioned to the centre-right and the New Democratic Party ( who at times aligned itself with the Liberals during minority governments ) , occupying the centre-left to left . Like their federal Conservative Party rivals , the party is often described as a big tent , attracting support from a broad spectrum of voters . In the late 1970s , Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau claimed that his Liberal Party adhered to the radical centre . The Liberals ' signature policies and legislative decisions include universal health care , the Canada Pension Plan , Canada Student Loans , peacekeeping , multilateralism , official bilingualism , official multiculturalism , patriating the Canadian constitution and the entrenchment of Canada 's Charter of Rights and Freedoms , the Clarity Act , legalizing same-sex marriage , euthanasia , and cannabis , national carbon pricing , and reproductive choice . In the 2015 federal election , the Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau had its best result since the 2000 election , winning 39.5 percent of the popular vote and 184 seats , gaining a majority of seats in the House of Commons . However , in the 2019 federal election , they lost their majority , winning 157 seats , but they still remained the largest party in the House .

Five years later , this was overturned . Disagreements between Nowlan and Diefenbaker are widely believed to have been at the heart of the PC government , allowing it to be reduced to a minority government in the 1962 federal election and then defeated a year later by a vote of no confidence by Lester Pearson and the Liberal Party in the 1963 election . His son Pat Nowlan later became a Progressive Conservative ( and later Independent Progressive Conservative ) MP in Nowlan 's riding of Kings County .

Nugent was re-elected in the 1962 federal election with a significantly narrower margin then his victory in 1958 - his plurality dropping by almost 10,000 votes in the election that reduced the Diefenbaker Tories to a minority government . During the Cuban Missile Crisis Nugent stood in parliament and asked MPs to refuse to support the American government should it threaten to invade Cuba saying One of the fundamental facts we must recognize is that Cuba is an independent , sovereign nation . we may not like its form of government but I suggest that whether it is a small country or a large country , or whether it is a country that is friendly to us or not , it is a sovereign state and those of us who believe in the rights of sovereign states as subscribed to in the United Nations charter , must concede that big or small , friendly or unfriendly , whether we like it or not , that country has the same rights as we have . Nugent received some 300 telegrams of support from Canadians following his speech .
