In the 4th General Election the Liberal Democratic Alliance, now the New Democratic Party, won a small majority of 175 seats against the Conservative party due to strong wins in Quebec, British Columbia and Toronto. The former government under the Conservatives, led by Alexandre Chauvin, fell to opposition winning just 121 seats, mostly concentrated in Western Canada and Southern Ontario. The only other seats won were by the Labour Party, who won 35 seats from downtown Montreal and Toronto, along with some other seats around Canada. After the election, Chauvin resigned from his role as party leader and was succeeded by Remy Lévesque. Chauvin would go on to form his own party just before the 5th General Election, the Liberal Party, which was a more moderate party then the Conservatives. Labour also had a change of leadership, when Paul Esterhazy took over from Dafydd McLaren-Shwartz. | |||
