The Canadian parliament after the 1904 election

The Canadian federal election of 1904 was held on November 3 to elect members of the 10th Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons. Sir Wilfrid Laurier led the Liberal Party of Canada to a third term in government, with an increased majority, and over half of the popular vote.

Sir Robert Borden's Conservatives and Liberal-Conservatives were unable to challenge the Liberals effectively, and lost a small portion of their popular vote, along with four seats.
