Topic: Ontario general election, 1975


  
  Spartanburg SC | GoUpstate.com | Spartanburg Herald-Journal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Liberal Party of Ontario is descended from the Reform Party of Robert Baldwin and William Lyon Mackenzie, who argued for responsible government in the 1830s and 1840s against the conservative patrician rule of the Family Compact.
In the 1999 election, the governing Conservatives were reelected on the basis of strong economic growth and a negative campaign tightly focused on portraying McGuinty as "not up to the job".
In the 2003 election, however, the Tories ran the poor campaign, and their new leader, Ernie Eves was seen to be weak and untrustworthy.

 Harris, Michael Deane
Harris was elected leader of the provincial Conservatives on 12 May 1990, and fought his first election as party chief the same year on a platform of spending restraint and leaner government.
Indeed, when Harris called the provincial election on 5 May 1999, his party was behind the Liberals in the polls.
But after an election campaign notable for its historically short lead-up and for the protesters who dogged his path, Harris was re-elected on 3 June 1999, the first Ontario premier to win back-to-back majorities since 1967.
