Collapse of PCs and rise of Bloc and Reform; Liberals win majority

The 1993 Canadian federal election marked a pivotal shift in the political landscape of Canada, characterized by the collapse of the Progressive Conservative Party (PCs) and the emergence of the Bloc Québécois and the Reform Party. The election resulted in the Liberal Party securing a majority government, capturing 60% of the total seats in the House of Commons. This election was notable for the dramatic decline of the PCs, which had previously held power and won significant majorities in earlier elections. The Liberal Party, led by Jean Chrétien, capitalized on widespread public discontent with the PCs, particularly regarding economic issues and the handling of national unity concerns. The election saw the PCs' representation in Parliament plummet, reflecting a significant shift in voter sentiment and party allegiance.
