dc.description.abstractHow does Canada’s principal linguistic cleavage affect electoral politics? This paper argues that FrenchEnglish dualism has produced four political outcomes for federal parties. These include boosting a party’s cultural credentials, linguistic marginalization, linguistically-defined separate parties, and linguistic message dissonance. In this respect, parties navigate the demands imposed by linguistic difference with varying degrees of success. The political effects of linguistic duality are evidenced in the dynamics of party competition and vote choice.
