AbstractThere was no federal election in 2023 but change seemed to be in the air, as the official opposition Conservatives, under their new leader, made major gains in the polls and took a significant lead over the Liberals. Controversy over foreign interference in Canadian politics generated controversy, and foreign policy issues had an uncharacteristic impact on Canadian politics. The Liberal government responded with a major Cabinet shuffle, while by‐elections left the party positions in the House of Commons essentially unchanged.

AbstractThere was no federal election in Canada in 2022, but the official opposition Conservatives ousted their leader and elected a new one. Additionally, the Liberals and New Democrats signed a Supply and Confidence Agreement that would protect the minority Liberal government from parliamentary defeat until 2025. Despite these significant developments, the major event was a convoy that descended on Ottawa to protest policies related to the COVID‐19 pandemic and was only removed after substantial police action and the declaration of the Emergencies Act.

AbstractCanadian politics in 2021 was far from boring. A federal election that resulted in very few changes, the resignation of the Governor General, the appointment of the first Indigenous Governor General, scandals in the military, the resolution of a dispute with the Chinese government, and ongoing issues relating to the COVID‐19 pandemic attracted substantial attention. But more striking was the discovery of unmarked graves on the site of former residential schools, a discovery challenging the views many Canadians had of their history and revealing the extent of work remaining to be done with respect to Indigenous issues and the continuing need for both truth and reconciliation.
