Election ResultsThe critical province in this election was Quebec. The traditional Conservative stronghold in the province was destroyed. This was an important turning point in Canadian politics. The Conservatives had gradually been losing the trust of French Canada, and the 1896 marked the first time that Quebec had an effective alternative in the Liberal party. The Conservatives would never regain power in Quebec. Population of Canada (1896): 4,833,000
