the progressive party, including the united farmers of alberta (ufa), won the second largest number of seats, dominating the west, and winning almost a third of the seats in ontario. liberal and conservative candidates were shut out in alberta, with 10 ufa and two labour candidates taking the province's 12 federal seats. the party won only one seat east of ontario, however. despite winning the second most seats, it declined to form the official opposition. it would be the only canadian federal election before 1993 in which a party other than the liberals or the (progressive) conservatives won the second most seats.
