However, in the October 2, 2003 provincial election, the Liberals, under Dalton McGuinty, won 72 seats (with 46.5 per cent of the popular vote), the Progressive Conservatives, under Ernie Eves, 24 seats (with 34.6 per cent of the vote), and the NDP (under Howard Hampton), 7 seats (with 14.7 per cent of the vote).
The winner of the upcoming Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership contest will therefore probably be fairly well- positioned to significantly challenge the provincial Liberals in the next election — although it is a number of years away, and the situation could obviously shift repeatedly during that time.
Whatever the outcome of the Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership contest, and the eventual provincial election in Ontario, Canada has certainly been marked by massive social transformation and upheaval since the 1960s, and it is likely that these trends will continue.

 Interim leader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An interim leader, in Canadian politics, is a party leader who is appointed by the party's legislative caucus or the party's executive to temporarily act as leader when there is a gap between the resignation or death of a party leader and the election of his or her formal successor.
An interim leader has all the rights and responsibilities of an elected party leader, except that he or she does not have the discretion to call a leadership race, as one must be held within a certain time period after an interim leader is appointed.
An interim leader may, if necessary, lead the party into an election, but by Canadian custom, an election is usually not called while one of the parties is in a leadership race.

 ESR | September 13, 2004 | Tories choose new leader in Ontario
Ontario is Canada's most populous province, with over ten million people (Canada's population is around 31 million), and is the destination for over half of immigrants to Canada.
Upon coming to power, Dalton McGuinty's Liberals have broken a number of major promises to the electorate, in a fashion more egregious than usual – for example, raising taxes, running the provincial budget into a deficit, and re-introducing healthcare premiums for the strained healthcare system.
The winner of the upcoming Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership contest will therefore probably be fairly well-positioned to significantly challenge the provincial Liberals in the next election – although it is a number of years away, and the situation could obviously shift repeatedly during that time.
