Untitled[edit]

We now have consistent colour-coding of the Conservative Party (historical) and the Progressive Conservative Party from 1867-2000. The "powderblue" should make the data legible on most if not all monitors, unlike the previous colour, which was almost the same colour as the text on both monitors that I use. I really hope that we won't have someone go in and randomly change a few years' elections to different colours and mess up this consistency. After 2000, there is no need to adjust colours, I think, since the new Conservative Party is the result of a merger, and therefore warrants a new colour. Kevintoronto 22:37, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Data errors[edit]

In the "results by province" table, Ontario is shown with 101 + 1 + 1 = 101 seats. That doesn't add up. I haven't checked other sources to see where the error might be.

Error on Riding Map[edit]

In Newfoundland the PCs are shown with 6 ridings to the Liberals' 1 on the riding map, while the provincial map lists them as having 4 ridings to the Liberals' 3. The latter aligns with official results from Elections Canada. I believe that specifically Bonavista--Trinity--Conception and Humber--St. Barbe--Baie Verte (all along the northern border) should be the palest shade of red rather than blue. Additionally, the seat totals listed in the top-right corner don't seem to align with the other numbers within the infobox. Jujubeecat (talk) 04:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you're correct. Going to ping the mapmaker @BJenkins42:, though they haven't been active since creating the map.-- Earl Andrew - talk 04:22, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed both issues I think. Kavigupta (talk) 21:46, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
