Mulroney lost the election for the PCs. He was vilified across the country after Meech Lake. He resigned late in his term and Campbell was a Hail Mary pass by the Conservatives. Having said that, I'm tired of her being referred to as Canada's first female Prime Minister. She was an unelected PM, who failed to win her riding (Vancouver) when Canadians went to the polls. I'm still waiting for an elected female PM.
