Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wins second term but loses majority in House of Commons. With results still trickling in early Tuesday, Trudeau’s Liberal Party had 157 seats in the House of Commons - 13 short of the 170 needed for a majority in the 338-seat chamber, meaning the Liberals will have to rely on an opposition party to pass legislation. The results, however, were a victory for Trudeau, whose image took a hit after old photos of him in blackface and brownface surfaced last month. Ref. USAToday.
Justin Trudeau to remain Canada's prime minister; Liberal Party appears to fall short of majority. Canadians gave Trudeau's Liberal Party a victory in Monday's parliamentary elections, but his gamble to win a majority of seats appeared to have failed. The Liberals were on track to win the most seats of any party. But it didn't appear Trudeau would win enough seats to avoid having to rely on help from other parties to pass legislation. Trudeau entered the election leading a stable minority government that wasn't under threat of being toppled. Ref. USAToday.
