    November 18, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — A 19-year-old homeschool graduate and pro-life advocate won a provincial by-election by a landslide Thursday night, becoming the youngest Member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario history.

    Sam Oosterhoff, who suspended his first year of political science studies at Brock University to run, sailed to victory in the Niagara West-Glanbrook riding, winning 54 percent of the vote in the constituency previously held by former Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak.

    Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) pointed out that the young politician earned the overwhelming victory despite a "relentless smear campaign" by the ruling Liberal party and the mainstream media.

    The homeschooled teen ran as a “pro-life and pro-family politician, and the result was the highest vote percentage since at least the past five elections,” Fonseca told LifeSiteNews. He noted that Oosterhoff’s 54 percent of the popular vote was a 28 percent increase over Hudak’s 41.8 percent in 2014....



    ...A runaway victory for a pro-life Progressive Conservative teen and a clear defeat for a socially liberal Tory in Thursday’s provincial by elections is a lesson for PC leader Patrick Brown, says Fonseca.

    “What this teaches us is that socially conservative politicians can win elections by being unapologetic about their pro-life and pro-family beliefs,” he told LifeSiteNews.

    The “dramatic spike in PC fortunes achieved by Sam suggests that being a social conservative who can tap into ‘values voters’ might actually offer a significant political advantage,” Fonseca added....

    Ontario is more English and less French/Catholic than Quebec so that is surprising.
