                After fifteen years of a minority government, the R.B. Bennett and his Conservatives have moved forward and secured the majority.
                The Conservatives’ victory is in part of both the Liberal’s failure to ease the economic slump and the R.B. Bennett’s promises that he will end the Depression.

               This is Mackenzie King’s fourth time holding the position of Prime Minister, which is largely due to his past coalition with the Progressive Party, a few clever moves and sheer luck, and this is his largest victory yet.
