A test of will

Article Abstract:

Canadian Inuits have for nearly 20 years pressured the national government to divide the Northwest Territories into two regions, allowing the natives in the eastern half to govern themselves. On May 4, 1992, residents of the territory vote on a boundary that would separate the area roughly in half.

Not a sure thing; the Liberals are strong but not invincible

Article Abstract:

The Liberal Party could lose its majority in the upcoming Jun 2, 1997, election, although most believe that will not be the case. Undecided voters, who have watched higher taxes and a stagnant economy erode their standard of living since 1986, may play a major role in the outcome.
