[world politics news]
Canadians went to the polls yesterday and elected a Liberal majority government and a new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, ending 10 years of Conservative government under PM Stephen Harper. The New Democratic Party, once seen as a contender, crumbled into distant Third Party status.
The size of the liberal victory was substantial, winning 184 seats to the Conservatives' 99, with the New Democratic Party winning 44. The Bloc Québécois won 10 (it's leader Gilles Duceppe didn't win his seat) and the Greens took just one seat, that of that leader, Elizabeth May.
