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.  The 1887 election was a quiet affair compared to previous elections, but there was still betting, some shady tactics and once again, Sir John A. Macdonald found himself leading the country after yet another election win. E-mail: craig@canadaehx.com
