"Sexism may have played a role in McLeod's defeat. One poll taken after the election showed that one in five voters cast their ballots against McLeod because she was a woman."

C'mon, unless you're willing to have links cited to this crass generalization, then this type of spin has no purpose in being in a Wiki Entry.

Canada has had many strong female leaders including a PM. So get over it.

Northern Ontario Leader.

There is no mention to the possible reality that Ms. McCleod was defeated by a late vote movement swing, away from a party leader that was not from the Toronto area, and the Bay Street Boys Club, but rather way, way up in Northern Ontario.
