    Heavyweights: The Men of Montreal

    From @Hubert Humphrey Fan 1968 and myself, a TLIAM exploring how an alternate 2006 would shape the next decade-plus of Canada:

    Orange Crush or Orange Crushed? The NDP after Layton
    Threadmarks: The 2011 federal election

    To say that the 2011 Canadian federal election was historic would be an understatement; after decades of Liberal and Conservative dominance, and having won less than 40 seats and less than 20% of the vote in the election just two and a half years prior, the NDP found itself thrust into office...

    1980 presidential election deadlocked?

    I was thinking about American political PODs, and it occured to me that while in most elections where there have been strong third-party candidacies (namely 1948, 68, and 92) there have been lots of discussions about what would happen if the election was sent to congress, the same isn't true...

    AHC: Delay Great Recession

    I've been thinking about ways to butterfly the 2008 American election, but one thing that keeps coming up is the notion that whichever party that wins in 2004 is doomed to lose in 2008, largely as a result of the onset of the Great Recession. To me though, admittedly with my limited knowledge...

    AHC: Earlier (and Successful) Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment

    So in 2003, Republican Senator Orrin Hatch proposed the Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment, which would have repealed the natural born citizen clause and allowed anyone, so long as they had been an American citizen for 20 years, to run for President/Vice President. What I'm wondering is when...

    Praise the Lord!: A TLIAM

    So… So… … Do I start or you? I guess I do? I don’t really know. I mean, this is new for both of us. That’s true. Yup. … Shouldn’t you be asking questions? Oh, right. So like what’s the deal? With the timeline and stuff? Well it’s Canada 2004 with Bernard Lord leading the...

    President Dukakis: Is he re-elected in '92?

    I'm brainstorming a possible future timeline, and I'm wondering what the general consensus is with regards to a possible Michael Dukakis presidency. I've seen a lot of alternate scenarios where Dukakis manages to win in 1988, but I'm really not sure whether he'd win re-election, so I'm...

    The Populist Problem of Preston Manning: An Infobox Timeline
    Threadmarks: Chapter 1: The Elections of 1988 and 1993

    I originally posted this first entry in the Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes II thread, but on second thought I've decided to make a thread specifically devoted to it, to avoid cluttering up the other thread. Hope you enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------...

    1992 without NAFTA?

    I'm doing some research on a potential timeline, and I'm curious how the board thinks the 1992 U.S. presidential election would turn out without the North American Free Trade Agreement. I imagine it would probably result in Perot never entering the race, for one thing, but besides that I'm not...

    Chretien's Wise Men: A Canadian Timeline

    Before I begin, here's a bit of background. Prior to the 2000 federal election, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien tried hard to convince Newfoundland Premier Brian Tobin, Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow, former New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna, and former Ontario Premier Bob Rae to run...
