The Past Speaks

There is an election in Canada today, so I thought I would post some items related to historical Canadian elections.

This poster was issued by the Conservatives in 1891 to warn people of the dangers of voting in favour of Laurier and Unrestricted Reciprocity (i.e., free trade) with the United States.

The poster below dates from 1911, when the main issue in the election was Reciprocity with the United States. Taft was the US President at the time.
