Canada: Trudeau’s Liberals win minority government, CBC projects

Al Jazeera  

Canadian PM says he won clear mandate to govern, although he fell short of a majority win after tight election race. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party has won a minority government, the country’s public broadcaster projected, after a close election battle against the opposition Conservatives. “The moment we face demands real, important change and you have given this parliament and this government a clear direction.” Trudeau said Canadians did not want to hear about elections any longer and that the results meant he has a “clear mandate” to get country through the pandemic. “In fact, Canadians sent him back with another minority at the cost of six hundred million dollars and deeper divisions in our great country.” The Liberals have been governing as a minority government propped up by opposition parties since they won 157 seats in the last federal election in 2019. Trudeau, who faced some angry protests on the campaign trail, said on the eve of Election Day that Canadians had a clear choice: “We now get to pick the right direction for our country, to keep moving forward – or to let Conservatives take us back.” Both Trudeau and O’Toole were re-elected in their respective ridings, CBC projected.
