美国有线新闻 CNN 加拿大大选结果出炉 特鲁多成功连任总理

 

Election results are in from Canada and the nation's incumbent¹ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to serve another four year term in office. But election results for him were a mixed bag. In the vote that was held on Monday, Prime Minister Trudeau's political party, the liberal party, won enough seats for him to stay in power as prime minister. But the party lost its majority in parliament. It needs to have 170 seats for that, and though the liberals won 184 seats in the last election, they won 157 in this one.

Canada's conservative party, the main opponents of the liberals, gained seats in this election winning 121 of them. But that too, is short of a majority. So for Prime Minster Trudeau's party to pass any major legislation, it will have to get support from other smaller parties within parliament. So compromise will have to f?actor into that. And by many accounts, including one by Prime Minister Trudeau, this election was a divisive one for Canada. The nation shares a border with only one other country — the United States. Ahead of Canada's election, former U.S. President Barak Obama endorsed² Prime Minister Trudeau. And after it, current U.S. President Donald Trump³ congratulated Trudeau on his victory.
