The Elections: 1979 & 1980

I am releasing 36 straight days of podcast episodes about every election in Canadian history in honour of the new election. For the subsequent episodes in that series, make sure to subscribe to From John to Justin. With the economy sagging, Trudeau and the Liberals would find themselves in the Opposition after a surprise Joe Clark win in 1979. That would only last a short time before another election was called, and the Liberals could come back into power in 1980.
