University Prince Edward Island and Election Results

Mac Lauchlan: MacLauchlan spoke to party supporters in Stanhope, where he watched the election results produce a number of tight riding races, according to Toronto Star. As you know we’re gathered here in a room where I started Grade 1 quite a few years ago , and we’re back starting something else in 2015, said Mac Lauchlan, 60, a former president of the University of Prince Edward Island. The Liberals saw their majority slightly reduced from the 20 seats they held before the election, taking 18 seats to eight for the Tories and one for the Greens, marking a historic first for the third party. It has been a very interesting evening in the province, one that I expect has taken us further into the evening than people may have intended. The Conservatives, led by former Charlottetown city councillor Rob Lantz, gained five seats. I think that indicates it will be a very interesting era that ahead of us in terms of Prince Edward Island politics and we very much look forward to being part of that. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
