  • What's Next for the Canadian Alliance?
    Update to Chapter 3: Political Parties and Other Influential Groups What’s Next for the Canadian Alliance? The Canadian Alliance has its first leader in Stockwell Day. His victory over Preston Manning in the leadership vote was something of a surprise. That may mean he should not be underestimated as he tries to become Prime Minister. The next federal election is most likely to be called in the spring of 2001. Day’s Liberal opponent will probably be Prime Minister Chrétien, though there are some who still predict Chrétien will step aside before the next election. In any case, Day’s challenge remains the same. To win power, he must begin by maintaining his base of support in Western Canada. That seems easily achievable. He will try to gain support in Québec and Atlantic Canada, but there’s no evidence he will succeed. Atlantic Canadians generally favour a strong central government, and the Canadian Alliance believes in giving the provinces more powers at the expense of the federal government. In Québec, most races come down to the Liberals and the Bloc Québécois. The Reform Party has never come close to winning a Québec seat. The Alliance has very little to build on in the province. All this means Stockwell Day’s hopes rest in Ontario. The Liberals have won just about every seat in the province for two elections running. Doing that again is no easy task. The Alliance is hoping it can take away enough seats to form a government. The Liberals are likely to portray Stockwell Day as an extremist, out of step with most Canadians on social issues.
