Canada Reelects Justin Trudeau As Prime Minister

Canadian voters re-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a second term, with his Liberal Party winning 157 seats, 13 short of a majority. This necessitates collaboration with other parties to form a minority government. Trudeau's first term focused on climate targets, refugee resettlement, cannabis legalization, and a new trade deal. However, he faced controversies, including an ethics violation and past blackface photos. Trudeau was closely contested by Conservative leader Andrew Scheer.
