1980 Canadian Federal Election
The 1980 Canadian federal election was held on February 18, 1980, to elect members of the House of Commons of Canada of the 32nd Parliament of Canada. It was called when the minority Progressive Conservative government led by Prime Minister Joe Clark was defeated in the Commons.

Clark's Minister of Finance, John Crosbie, introduced an austere government budget in late 1979 that proposed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
