‘No one really wins’: Canada vote results near identical to 2019

As PM Trudeau’s Liberals fall short of a majority, experts say result shows Canadians want gov’t to get back to work.

“Get back to work.”

That seems to be the message Canadian voters sent to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s party on Monday night, analysts said, as the Liberals retained power but failed to secure a majority in results that were nearly identical to the last federal election in 2019.

“Canadians were pretty satisfied with the government they had prior to the election, so we have pretty much what we had before with a few exceptions,” said Tammy Findlay, associate professor and chair of political and Canadian studies at Mount Saint Vincent University in Nova Scotia.
