Trudeau Liberals Win Another Minority Government in Canada’s Federal Election



Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have won another minority government in the snap election Trudeau called amid the pandemic. While not all ballots are counted yet and mail-in ballots will be counted in coming days, the Liberals secured enough seats to be able to form a minority government, but will remain short of the 170 seats required to form a majority.
The Liberal Party, promising to continue its progressive path on climate action and finishing “the fight against COVID-19,” won or was leading in 156 ridings in the early hours of Tuesday, close to its 155 seats at dissolution. The opposition Conservatives, touting the party’s platform for “Canada’s recovery,” won or were leading in 121 ridings, a few more than their 119 seats at dissolution. Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party didn’t win any seats, including in Bernier’s riding of Beauce in Quebec, which was won by the incumbent Conservative candidate. The party, which had campaigned on upholding personal liberties and fighting for COVID-19 vaccine choice, increased its share of national vote to over 5 percent as of the early hours of Tuesday, up from less than 2 percent in 2019. The final vote count will be announced once the approximately 800,000 mail-in ballots are counted. Counting will begin on Tuesday.-- More...
