Answer
Brian Mulroney, the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, defeated Turner, the leader of the Liberal Party, in the 1984 Canadian federal election.

Mulroney's victory was attributed to a number of factors, including his strong performance in the televised debates, his promise to reduce the deficit, and his appeal to western Canada.
