Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party was projected to win the most seats in the 338-seat Parliament.
Rob GilliesTORONTO – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was set to win a second term in Canada’s national elections Monday, losing the majority but delivering unexpectedly strong results despite having been weakened by a series of scandals that tarnished his image as a liberal icon.
Still, the results were a victory for Trudeau, whose clean-cut image took a hit after old photos of him in blackface and brownface surfaced last month. The Canadian vote came down to what was essentially a choice between the handsome and charismatic Trudeau and the Conservatives’ unassuming leader, Andrew Scheer, who was seen as the perfect antidote to Trudeau’s flash and celebrity.
While results were unofficial Monday night, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted his congratulations to Trudeau.
