Conservatives won big last night, in an election nobody noticed

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

While most eyes were turned to mere primaries in New York Tuesday night, a territory almost five times the size of New York changed hands politically. The ruling liberal party was shown the door and conservatives won a majority, and a record-breaking one at that, for the first time since 1999.

 

Why haven't you heard of it?

 

Because that territory wasn't in the United States of America, but in Canada.

 

Just months after the Conservative Party went down to defeat in Canada to Justin Trudeau's Liberals, they've come roaring back at the local level in the prairie province of Manitoba. Brian Pallister's Progressive Conservative Party got 40 seats in the 57-seat provincial parliament, the NDP got 14 and the Liberals 3.
