1993 federal election

The 1993 federal election in Canada was held on October 25. It marked a significant political shift, resulting in the Liberal Party, led by Jean Chrétien, winning a landslide victory and forming a majority government. The election was notable for the collapse of the Progressive Conservative Party, which went from governing to winning only two seats, largely due to the unpopularity of then-Prime Minister Kim Campbell and economic concerns. This election also saw the rise of the Bloc Québécois, focused on Quebec nationalism, and the Reform Party, representing Western Canadian interests, reshaping Canada's political landscape.
