The Liberals have won but they are a minority government this time around. Conservatives are the Loyal Opposition.
The Liberals will be joining with the NDP to make up the Federal government.
I'll get you the numbers later of breakdown of seats.

Yeah. Trudeau won, but the liberals in general really didn't.
My guess is that his own government opposition will stymie him until the next election and he'll be out of office next election.
Meh. Even the conservatives in Canada are liberals though.

I think Trudeau is driven too much by political-correctness but I have no idea what the alternatives would be, so maybe he is the best choice.
My Canadian friend would like to see someone other than Liberal/ Conservative/ NDP. He doesn't like any of them because their collective foreign policy resides somewhere with our deep state, plus they don't mind supporting Israel's apartheid policies IIRC. Foreign-policy-wise seems like not much difference between them ...they all support NATO, Israel, and the EU ... correct?
So probably Canadians politicians run on domestic policies and I wouldn't be surprised if health care spending was a perennial issue. Budget deficits and energy policies also issues, since Canada makes a fair bit of money exporting tar-sands oil? Don't know much about your Conservative party in general; I imagine it would be strongest in the "plains" provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and possibly the NW Territories and Yukon). Do they run on getting rid of Canada's single-payer health plan? I can't imagine that would be a winning plank! The last conservative that I heard about was the late mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford. He was entertaining as hell, but that's only because he wasn't my mayor! I assume the other Conservative politicians aren't as colorful but would be curious how you see the differences between the Liberals, the Consevatives, and the NDP.

More than that Brenda, nobody who opposed Trudeau was jailed or poisoned. Fair and free elections, what a concept.

I know. The Clintons over on this side of the border are insane.
Canada should probably build a wall to keep them out.

You, my dear Jack weren't listening to Scheer. And it is he who will be out as Conservative leader since he couldn't beat Trudeau when he was down.
This time round again it is better red than blue in Canada. We do not need a Trump wanna-be in Parliament.

Compared to the Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, Trudeau is the better option.
Canadian politics is driven by domestic policy. Healthcare spending does come up. Yes, deficits and energy because of Alberta and the tar sands. They get the oil out of the sands before it is shipped.
You are correct, the Prairies did got pretty blue. Alberta is always very conservative.
NO Canadian politician would run on getting rid of our healthcare system. That would sign their death warrant for sure.
Ontario has a Conservative Premier Doug Ford and he is the brother of Rob Ford. None of the Conservatives wanted him near their campaigns as that would have seen them going down in flames. Ford is not popular in Ontario with all of cuts.
The Conservatives ran a nasty campaign and had several candidates across the country that have made openly racists and homophobic comments that came back to bite them. Andrew Scheer himself was constantly attacking Trudeau on anything he could think of.
The shine may have come off Trudeau but I think the people accepted his apologizes for the stupid things he did in the past. And his not ducking the questions that came from them.
Jagmeet Singh, I liked. He's the head of the Federal NDP. He handled himself well when confronted with racist remarks from people. He was back east when an older gentleman walked up to him and said something nasty. Mr. Singh said that Canadians all look different. The older man shook his hand and said, "I'll still vote for you."
