Leadership Vote: Majority Mandate and Justin Tang

leadership vote: Justin Tang / THE CANADIAN PRESS By Chantal H bert National Affairs Columnist Fri., May 26, 2017 It has been 20 years this spring since the Reform party ran English-only election ads inviting voters to withdraw their support for federal parties whose leaders hailed from Quebec, according to Toronto Star. The invitation backfired and Jean Chr tien secured a second majority mandate in no small part by winning every seat but two in Ontario. But what he could do next will depend on his support across the country. This weekend there are better than even odds that the reunited Conservative party will emerge from the second leadership vote of its short history under its current configuration with a francophone Quebecer at the helm. The Beauce MP is expected to win Quebec handily. Maxime Bernier has been the frontrunner in the lead-up to Saturday's finale. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
