Ontario General Election, 1987The Ontario general election of 1987 was held to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, Canada. The governing Ontario Liberal Party, led by David Peterson, was returned to power with a large majority. Peterson had successfully managed to govern with a minority in the Legislature by obtaining the co-operation of the Ontario New Democratic Party, led by Bob Rae. It was through the NDP's support that Peterson was able to form a government, even though the Progressive Conservative Party had won a slightly larger number of seats in the previous election. The PC Party, led by Larry Grossman, campaigned on a platform of tax cuts to stimulate the economy. Its support continued to slide, howver, as voters decided that they liked the change that the Liberal-NDP arrangement brought. The NDP was unable to convince voters that it should be given credit for the success of the Liberal government that it had supported.
