Justin Trudeau wins second term in Canada elections

The 2019 Canadian federal election (formally the 43rd Canadian general election) was held on October 21, 2019, to elect members of the House of Commons to the 43rd Canadian Parliament. The writs of election for the 2019 election were issued by Governor General Julie Payette on September 11, 2019. The Conservative Party under Andrew Scheer, the New Democratic Party under Jagmeet Singh, the Green Party under Elizabeth May, and the People's Party under Maxime Bernier challenged the incumbent Liberal government. The result of the 40-day campaign saw the incumbent Liberals lose the majority they won in the 2015 election but they maintained a plurality of seats; according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, preliminary results indicate that the Liberals had won enough seats to form a minority government, but lost the popular vote to the Conservatives. This marks the first time since the 1979 elections that a party has received a plurality of seats while not receiving a plurality of the popular vote.
