Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won a second term in office on Monday, after a bruising and scandal-hit campaign.
The Liberals were expected to win 157 seats, 13 short of the 170 needed for a majority government.Laura Stephenson, a professor of political science at Ontario's Western University, told CNBC via telephone that a stronger-than-expected minority government for the Liberals would most likely result in the ruling party seeking to govern "issue by issue."
The Liberals were expected to win 157 seats, 13 short of the 170 needed for a majority government. It means Trudeau will be forced to depend on other parties to govern. The Bloc Quebecois, a separatist party based in the French-speaking province, was expected to take 32 seats, up from the 10 it won in 2015."The Liberals should be pleased with this result," Cailin Birch, a global economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit , told CNBC via telephone.
The photos of Trudeau in blackface makeup were at odds with his oft-stated position as a leader seeking to improve the life of minorities in Canada.Nonetheless, Trudeau received a late endorsement from former U.S. President Barack Obama last week.
