Canada’s Trudeau Wins Re-Election, But Loses Majority In Parliament

Heading into Monday’s national election, the Liberal party controlled 177 seats in the Canadian Parliament, which gave it a majority government. The Conservative party under the leadership of Andrew Scheer gained ground, increasing its Parliament seats from 95 to 121. The separatist Bloc Quebecois party, which only runs candidates in the French-speaking province, increased its number of seats from 10 to 32.
