The Liberals and Rob Lantz

Rob Lantz: Wade Mac Lauchlan took over the leadership of the Liberals and became premier in February, the same month that Rob Lantz became Tory leader, according to CTV. This is also the first time Peter Bevan-Baker of the Greens and the NDP Mike Redmond have led their parties in an election campaign. The province politics have historically been dominated by the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives. Past Liberal missteps on an immigrant investor program and a failed bid to become the country Internet gambling regulator have raised questions about the party accountability. A three-year RCMP investigation into allegations of fraud and bribery involving the immigrant investor program was closed with no charges laid. The opposition parties accuse the Liberals of failing to be transparent about what happened and the Tories are promising a royal commission to look into the administration of the immigration program and the Internet gaming initiative that was abandoned by former premier Robert Ghiz government more than two years ago.
