So they elected the tories instead who proceeded to also do nothing which resulted in him getting back into power.

the prime minister of Canada for three non-consecutive terms from 1921 to 1926, 1926 to 1930, and 1935 to 1948. A Liberal, he was the dominant politician in Canada from the early 1920s to the late 1940s.[a] With a total of 21 years and 154 days in office, he remains the longest-serving prime minister in Canadian history.

    Yeah they fucking demolished the tories in the 35 election and what's telling was they still didn't promise to do much. Certainly no new deal initiative. At that point I'm sure the electorate realized they were well and truly fucked. Thus the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation made a showing, which eventually became the NDP.
