Talk:List of electoral firsts in Canada

message: How can we say that the CCF was a "major" provincial party in Quebec in the 1950s?  How do we define "major"?  HistoryBA 14:52, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Major" party 

message: Here are some of the ways I have cleaned up the egregious formatting of this article:
# Words following the first word in sub-headings are not capitalized in Wikipedia unless they are proper nouns -- see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Headings
# There is no need to use different colours in text -- this is to be avoided because it can make things more dfficult for colour-blind people and those with sight impairments -- see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Formatting_issues
# Numbered lists should be created using the "#" sign -- which automatically numbers the items in the list -- so that they can be easier added to or edited.
Also, 
# "woman" is a noun, not an adjective, so I have changes "First woman MP" to "First female MP". 
# 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, should be spelled out. 
# "Provincial MLA" and "Provincial MPP" are redundant. "MLAs" and "MPPs" are always provincial in Canada.

message: How can alot of this article be "firsts" when they are twenty different entries for some categories, which are spread over a more than 30 yr gap? Shouldn't they be removed, or moved to a different article? (Or moved off of Wikipedia?) --Hamiltonian 21:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *I also have some trouble with the classification of politicians by specific ethnic groups (particularly marking politicians as "1/2 something", or marking Canadians of Haitian origin as African).  Am I just being too sensitive? --Hamiltonian 23:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Firsts" ? 

message: This article is about Canadian FIRSTS. I see lists that are irrelevant to the topic. xero 05:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Whats up with all these LISTS??

message: It is mentioned that Frank A. Calder was the first aboriginal to be elected to a legislative assembly in Canada. I believe that this isn't the case since Ludger Bastien, Huron of the Wendake reservation, was elected to the Quebec legislative assembly in 1924 where he served until his defeat in 1927.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sorenhes (talk • contribs) 00:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: non-elected items

message: James W. Douglas appears to be the first African-Canadian elected to sit in a provincial legislature...the son of Sir James Douglas, he served in the BC Legislature from 1875 to 1878. If his father is considered to be African-Canadian, than I assume his son is, as well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.69.40.130 (talk) 00:52, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: James W. Douglas

message: I find it odd that following the first Aboriginal peoples to attain political positions the list then focuses on the Métis as a separate group despite also being Aboriginal. 
Aboriginal people are defined iin the Constitution as Indians (more appropriately referenced as the First Nations), the Métis, and the Inuit. Taylorderek (talk) 08:19, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Defining Aboriginal 

message: When this article was started, this section was titled Black Canadians and somewhere along the way it was changed to African Canadians without explanation. I've returned it to the original title because, 1) it's a far more common usage in Canada to say "Black" or "Black Canadian" than "African Canadian", 2) because the pertinent Wikipedia article is titled Black Canadians, 3) because the rationale and history presented in that article suggest that Black Canadians is more accurate, more inclusive, and more more historically and demographically justified.
