Trudeau's Liberals to form Canadian minority government: CBC

2019-10-22

[DAWN] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's

...Canada’s very own Imran Khan...

ruling Liberals will form a minority government, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp projected on Monday after polls closed across the country.

The Liberals were leading or elected in 146 out of 304 electoral districts that had reported results by about 0230 GMT on Tuesday, the CBC said.

Trudeau needed to win 170 seats to secure a second majority government.

A minority government in the 338-seat House of Commons would leave Trudeau in a weakened position and needing the support of left-leaning opposition parties to push through key pieces of legislation.

Ahead of the vote, polls showed a neck-and-neck race across the country as Trudeau, who took power as a charismatic figure promising "sunny ways," battled Conservative leader Andrew Scheer for the chance to form the next government.

Trudeau, 47, the Liberal Party leader, was endorsed by former US President Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
in the final stretch of the campaign and is viewed as one of the last remaining progressive leaders among the world's major democracies.

#5 Oh my poor, beautiful country! The same left leaning, unthinking takers voted for Turdeau as they did last election. The Canuckistanians CAN be that stupid.

Scheer is referred to as "Sheep". No balls at all, endorsed the Paris Accords, tries to be Liberal Lite, no principles that I can see.

Thank heavens that I'm 168 years old (I feel that way most mornings) and will not have to watch the total destruction of what once was a thriving country.

O's endorsement was almost enough to put Scheer in office. Were the voters trying to protect themselves from DS tool lefty doofus Trudeau?

There’s quite a bit to like about Schreer.

Scheer has described himself as focused on economic development, fiscal restraint, and reducing inefficiencies in government. A staunch opponent of the federal carbon tax, he has stated that he would balance the federal budget within two years of forming a government and open up the airline industry to foreign competition. Scheer has been likened to former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. On 27 May 2017, he was elected Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada—wiki

#1 I'll bet the native Canadians can't be this stupid, that it's mostly the Indian and Pakistani origin voters there who support ~~Castro~~ Trudeau.
