Samuel Barker, PC (May 25,1839 – June 26,1915) was a Canadian parliamentarian and lawyer.
Barker was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hamilton,Ontario in the 1900 federal election after an unsuccessful attempt four years earlier. He was re-elected as the MP for Hamilton East in 1904 and remained in office for a total of almost fifteen years before dying in office at the age of 76 after winning four consecutive elections. [1]

There have been various groups in Canada that have nominated candidates under the label Labour Party or Independent Labour Party,or other variations from the 1870s until the 1960s. These were usually local or provincial groups using the Labour Party or Independent Labour Party name,backed by local labour councils made up of many union locals in a particular city,or individual trade unions. There was an attempt to create a national Canadian Labour Party in the late 1910s and in the 1920s,but these were only partly successful.

A perennial candidate is a political candidate who frequently runs for elected office and rarely,if ever,wins. The existence of perennial candidates lies in the fact that in some countries,there are no laws that limit a number of times a person can run for office,or laws that impose a non-negligible financial penalty on registering to run for election.
The Ontario New Democratic Party elects its leaders by secret ballot of the party members and/or their delegates at leadership elections,as did its predecessor,the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation.

The 1878 Canadian federal election was held on September 17,1878,to elect members of the House of Commons of the 4th Parliament of Canada. It resulted in the end of Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie's Liberal government after only one term in office. Canada suffered an economic depression during Mackenzie's term,and his party was punished by voters for it. The Liberals' policy of free trade also hurt their support with the business establishment in Toronto and Montreal.
