The 1867 Canadian Federal election, a ratification of the Canadian Constitution and Confederation as pushed forward and instituted by canadian statesmen—via the English Parliament—such as it's most ardent supporter Sir John A. MacDonald gave the Liberal-Conservative Party led by the same man a strong majority in the First election of the new Confederation.
Also running in this election were the Anti-Confederation party led by Johnathan Howe and the Liberal Party, unnoficially lead by George Brown—of note, Mr. Brown ran, but didn't win any seat in the newly created Canadian Parliament
However, due to the size and support for confederation across most of Canada, neither party were able to beat the Liberal Conservatives, with the Anti-confederation party specifically being relegated to only Nova Scotia.
