Manitoba Liberal Leader Faces Long Road to Recovery
The Manitoba Liberal Party, once official opposition with 22 seats under Sharon Carstairs, shrank to three MPs in 1995. Paul Edwards resigned last year, and a new leader will be chosen next fall. Potential candidates include Ron Duhamel, with party funds and by elections posing hurdles. The party lacks funds and status as Tories and NDP dominate Manitoba politics, possibly delaying any revival until 2000.
