Election 2019 – Liberals Cling to Minority Government

Although a tight race, Canada’s 2019 federal election has ended with Justin Trudeau’sLiberal Party holding on to a minority government. The Liberals have taken 157 seats inMonday’s election, 13 seats shy of the 170 needed for a majority.

Nearly three-quarters of the Liberal caucus will hail from Ontario and Quebec, with Albertaand Saskatchewan having no members of parliament in the government.

The Liberals continue to hold 26 seats in Atlantic Canada but lost their domination of theregion. In the 2015 election, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals won all of Atlantic Canada’s 32ridings, but this time lost four ridings to the Conservatives and one each to the NDP andthe Green Party. Key Atlantic MPs not returning include Nick Whelan (St. John’s East) andMatt DeCourcey (Fredericton) who were defeated; and Rodger Cuzner (Cape Breton-Canso), Bill Casey (Cumberland-Colchester) and Mark Eyking (Sydney-Victoria) whoretired.

For the first time in 40 years, the party that received the most votes – the Conservatives –did not also win the largest share of seats. While the Conservatives received 34% of thepopular vote, the Liberals trailed closely behind with 33%.

With 121 Members of Parliament, the Conservatives now hold more seats than they didfollowing the 2015 federal election. Conservative MP’s are, however, heavily concentratedin Saskatchewan, Alberta and rural Ontario. The party failed to make any gains inQuebec.

The Bloc Québécois also enjoyed a surge, ending the day with 32 seats - 22 more than in2015; now making it the third party in the House of Commons.

The NDP lost 15 seats in this election, now holding just 24 ridings. Despite moving tofourth party status in the House of Commons, the NDP still retains enough seats to holdthe balance of power in a Liberal minority government.

The Greens won three seats and for the first time won a seat in New Brunswick, withJenica Atwin stealing the riding of Fredericton from Liberal incumbent Matt DeCourcey.
