Paul Martin and the federal Liberal Party remain at the helm of the country's leadership after yesterday's election, but they will have to reach out to members of the other parties to stay in power. Although the final numbers were not available at press time, it was clear that Canadian voters had given the Liberals a minority government with which to rule the land in the next session of Parliament. In the Flin Flon region, NDP Bev Desjarlais easily won her seat with a wide margin of victory over Liberal Ron Evans who placed second and Conservative Bill Archer who was in third place. The Green Party was a very distant fourth. On the Creighton side of the border, Conservative Jeremy Harrison, a new candidate, grabbed the seat away from the Liberals. The federal NDP made gains in their seat numbers. The Separatist Party in Quebec made substantial gains, winning the majority of the seats in that province. Stephen Harper's Conservative Party will form the Official Opposition. However, the Conservatives failed to gain supremacy over the Liberals as some had predicted might happen.
