Canadian federal election, 1895

[Hash]

Boucher de Boucherville was an Ultramontane Catholic. I doubt that he would be welcomed as a federal Tory leader unless the party wanted to transform itself into the Catholic Crazies of Quebec party.

Fair enough. Senate WASP it is then.

One more Tory vote (Total now at 27)

This means the Tories have doubled their seat total!

(change from last update)

Liberals: 167 (-2)
PoI: 31
McCarthyite: 5
Tory: 2 (+1)
Others: 8 (+1)

For the record, the new Tory riding is York, NB where George Eulas Foster enjoys a 25 vote lead. He might be better suited for leadership than Flavien Dupont.

Someone voted Liberal. And now we're back to where we were before. Foster trails by 111 votes.

And it will likely take a lot of non PoI votes to get them off the 31 seat maximum. Their worst riding is Leeds South, where they lead by ~850 votes.

BUMP

Okay, so the Conservatives had a turn in power. Let's bring back the Liberals now.

Tories: 1
Others: 7
