A few days ago I was thinking that over the past 20 years in the Canadian House of Commons there have been quite a number of parties that have been the Official Opposition. Turns out there have been six. In chronological order, the parties were: the Bloc Quebecois, Reform, the Canadian Alliance, the Conservative Party of Canada, the Liberals, and the NDP.
If my calculations are correct, the only party to have had official party status at some point during this 20 year window but not to have been the Official Opposition was the PC party.
Wasn't I right about this being a fun fact?
