The Tories won the election with a reduced majority, and McLeod swapped shadow cabinet portfolios with Gerard Kennedy to serve as her party's health critic in the parliament that followed.

 Eye Weekly - PARK: Bob Rae scared silly by federal budget - 03.09.95
Some time ago, Rae and his spin doctors decided that his best re-election strategy was to attack the federal budget in the hope that Ontario voters would blame provincial Liberal leader Lyn McLeod and vote for Rae.
The problem is that a recent Angus Reid survey shows that 78 per cent of Ontario voters like the federal budget, the highest level of support of any province in the country.
All three will likely end up in a Lyn McLeod cabinet if the Liberals win and they won't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about the OSSTF leadership.

Connell repeatedly noted that she "didn't realize it was a Freedom Party piece," and told him that she did not "have enough space to start giving it over to political parties." "Well, you're still giving the SPACE," replied Metz.
Connell suggested that the London Free Press would have to tighten up "on the stuff coming in from political parties" and that she planned to discuss the matter with other editors at the paper to come up with a consistent policy.
As a follow-up to Connell's comments, Fp vice-president Lloyd Walker wrote Liberal party leader Lyn McLeod to inform her of the paper's policy towards political editorials, and about the number of McLeod's submitted editorials that were not published as a consequence of that policy.

Leaders who have been true to their conservative principles (Thatcher, Reagan, Klein, Harris) have come out as winners thanks to the large number of silent conservative supporters.
