Trudeau is expected to win, though projections indicate his Liberal Party must form a minority government
Photo: Cole Burston/Getty Images Late on Tuesday night, CBC News and CTV News called the 2019 Canadian federal election in favor of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party, which won a plurality of votes. Though he was able to rise above neck-and-neck pre-election polling with Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer, vote projections indicate that Trudeau will lead a minority government, falling short of the 170 seats needed for a parliamentary majority.
Throughout the mercifully short, six-week campaign, Trudeau was mired in controversy, from charges of climate hypocrisy for spouting green rhetoric while purchasing a $3.4 billion oil pipeline, to allegedly pressuring the former attorney general to impede an investigation into a construction company in Quebec. And on September 18, Time published a picture of Trudeau in brownface.
If projections are correct, the Liberal Party’s minority leadership will be the fourth such government in 15 years, and would require a partnership with one or more parties to pass legislation. Trudeau will have until mid-January to recall the House of Commons, the lower chamber of parliament.
