The Trudeau era continues — for now
CBC
It's not a majority. It might not even be a stronger minority.
It could, in fact, end up being an election that produces a House of Commons nearly identical to the one that was dissolved five weeks ago.
But it's a win for Justin Trudeau — which, for him, at least beats the alternative.
"You are sending us back to work," Trudeau said in the early hours of Tuesday morning, "with a clear mandate to get Canada through this pandemic and to the brighter days ahead."
A small crowd at the Queen Elizabeth hotel in downtown Montreal, thinned out by pandemic restrictions, applauded. And while the voters watching on television at home may have been less enthusiastic, "get back to work" may be the ultimate message of this election.
If there is a historical precedent for 2021, it might be former Liberal prime minister Lester B. Pearson's failure to gain a majority after calling a snap election in 1965. In that case, the result was almost identical to the previous election in 1963.
That was a political disappointment. It was also Pearson's last election as Liberal leader. But Pearson was still able to use his second term to advance national medicare with the Medical Care Act.
