CPAC presents in-depth coverage of the people and events that shaped the 2004 federal election campaign.
After a decade that saw Jean Chrétien’s Liberal Party of Canada elected with three successive majorities, 2004 brought significant changes to the federal political landscape. A corruption scandal, as well as the reunification of Canada’s two main conservative parties, presented challenges to Paul Martin, the new Liberal prime minister. In a five-week campaign that began on May 23, 2024, Liberal Leader Paul Martin, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, NDP Leader Jack Layton, and Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe presented competing visions of the future to Canada. Watch CPAC’s on-the-ground reporting from ridings across the country, hear the opinions of Canadians, and watch the leaders of Canada’s major political parties speak to the most important issues of their day in our 2004 election archive.
