replies: text: When I preview this it shows the party colours underneath the name of the party but it doesn't seem to be showing up in the article.  I am confused.  Maybe it is just a problem with my browser. (I've had to put more than " " to get it to show it for some reason) You'll note I've also left a small column at the end of the candidates name to put the colour of the winning party in. - Jord 19:13, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

For a record of that discussion, please see Talk:Canadian federal elections since 1867/Archive; a discussion also discussed the technical and logistical requirements there of, for a record of that discussion, please see Talk:Canadian federal election results since 1867/Archive2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevintoronto (talk • contribs) 22:19, 22 March 2005 (UTC)
