She did not rule out the possibility of try- ing again to follow in the footsteps of her father, former PC MPP and agriculture min- ister Noble Villeneuve. “You’re probably wondering if I am going run next time,” she said to loud applause. “I truly believe that with this (campaign) team, I will.” Villeneuve-Robertson and many other Ontario Progressive Conservative candid- ates faced defeat at the polls as Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals rolled up a ma- jority win within an hour after the official closing of the polls across the province.

Avec 12,35% des votes, le NPD a perdu un peu moins de 2% des votes en comparaison avec les élections de 2011. «Dans la région, l’important était de conserver notre base d’électeurs et je crois avoir réussi sur ce point, a indiqué Isabelle Sabourin.

Liberal incumbent Grant Crack retained his seat in the legislature and also enjoyed seeing his party returned with a clear majority government, taking seats away from the Tories and the NDP. step down as head of the party, leaving the door open for a future leadership race. “You know the unions were tough on us this round,” said Villeneuve-Robertson, adding that several public sector unions waged aggressive ad campaigns targeting Hudak and his fiscal restraint platform. “Their fearmongering tactics worked,” she said. “It scared enough people in Ontario to turn a Liberal (minority) government into a majority government.” dans le respect.» Suite aux élections, Isabelle Sabourin est de retour aux côtés du député fédéral néo-démocrate François Choquette, pour qui elle exerce les fonctions d’adjointe parlementaire à Ottawa. La candidate n’exclut pas de demeurer active pour la cause du NPD dans Glengarry-Prescott- Russell. Au niveau provincial, le NPD fait du surplace, conservant 21 sièges à Queen’s Park. Lors des élections de 2011, les néo- démocrates n’avaient fait élire que 16 députés, mais des élections partielles dans Kitchener-Waterloo, London Ouest, Windsor Tecumseh et Niagara Falls avaient permis au parti d’ajouter quatre députés en 2012, 2013 et 2014.
