Liberals Win in Labrador
PSMFLA AGM
Our AGM was very well attended with Andy Mitchell as guest speaker. Our new executive was elected and committees formed to begin the job of returning Canada to all Canadians, repairing the damage to our economy, agencies and our international reputation caused by the reckless ideologues currently in government.

Leadership2013 event in Bracebridge
It was a full house on Sunday as local Liberals gathered at the South Muskoka Curling and Golf Club to watch the announcement of Justin Trudeau’s leadership victory.
Whistles, bells and tambourines clamoured as speeches were delivered by former party leaders and leadership candidates in advance of the announcement. And with Trudeau capturing 86 per cent of the local vote, his victory was met with loud welcome.
“This is a great way to end to the leadership race,” said Liberal riding president Leigh Beal, who has hosted a series of meetings over recent months to watch the debates. “Opening participation has created a real ground swell of interest in the Liberal Party and in politics generally. We are looking forward to building on this momentum.”
In his victory speech, Trudeau described the occasion as the “first stop” in the campaign to bring down the current government in the 2015 election, emphasizing the importance of Party unity and the strength of individual riding associations.
Beal said the election result shows great solidarity within the Party. “People have made it very clear who they think will lead this party most effectively — and I agree with them. We’ve certainly seen Trudeau’s ability to inspire and engage throughout the leadership contest and I think those traits will resonate with a public that has been barraged with negativity for the last decade.”
Final figures released by the Liberal Party show Parry Sound-Muskoka Liberals and supporters cast a total of 505 ballots in the leadership race; an exceptional 93 per cent of the 545 registered to vote. In total 104,552 ballots were cast across Canada, making this the highest rate of participation in any leadership, for any party, in history.
