 note = {Since its formation, Canada has been a country of multiple ethnicities and regions that respectively have their own interests. The 2016 Canadian census reports that more than 250 ethnic origins and ancestries exist in the country. In addition, the Canadian federal government has historically faced the political challenge of the regional movements of the Atlantic and Western provinces and Quebecʼs separatist movement.
According to Arendt Lijphart, a scholar of comparative politics, a consensus form of democracy, which is conducive to creating compromise among different groups regardless of their size, is advantageous especially for countries facing social divide. Switzerland and Belgium with their federal system and proportional representation system are typical examples of consensus form of democracy.
While Canada also adopted federalism, it followed the British parliamentary and electoral systems, that is to say, it is a majoritarian form of democracy. Given Canadaʼs deep ethnic and regional cleavages, the following research questions arise. Does consensus form of democracy better fit Canada for stabilizing society? Has there been a movement toward institutional reform in Canadian political history?
If we look to the past, we can acknowledge negative perspectives casted on the existing political system. This occurred with the emergence of the Progressives, a third party established from a regional protest movement in the Western provinces in 1920. The politicians of this new party insisted on a sort of consensus form of democracy that included the necessity of cooperative politics among different political groups, a proportional representation system, and a coalition government. 
This study argues that despite the Progressive Partyʼs political influence in parliament through its power of the casting vote, the King-Byng affair of 1926, a political dispute between the governor general and the prime minister, negatively affected the Progressives. In conclusion, this study insists that the first challenge against the existing political system ended when the Progressives receded in the middle of the 1920s.},
