- Voters in Canada’s western province of Manitoba were set to re-elect the right-leaning Progressive Conservative party led by Brian Pallister on Tuesday, CTV news predicted, as early poll results were tabulated.
The re-election of Pallister and his Conservative party will add to the challenges facing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions and other initiatives have run into opposition from Pallister and fellow conservative premiers from Ontario and other provinces.Trudeau’s Liberal government will seek a second term in a national election Oct 21, with the formal campaign set to kick off on Wednesday.
Pallister, 65, grew up on a Manitoba farm before working as a school teacher and financial consultant. He also held office in both the provincial legislature and federal parliament.
