Opinion: Canada’s national archives need more than just a facelift Library and Archives Canada will soon have a shiny new home, but historians say what it really needs is better – and faster – access to the documents that make up this country’s history

By my calculation, the Liberals missed their majority by 623 votes (233 in Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, 77 in Nunavut, and 310 in Vancouver-Kingsway).
