As of yesterday, Canada finished a month of political campaigning and a federal election. This more or less resulted in some minor changes in the House of Commons. Those following it mainly saw this as a failed attempt at a power grab by Trudeau to achieve a majority government – as he had from 2015-2019. I myself see it more as a calculated attempt at extending his term well into the late 2020s and waiting for a more opportune moment to shore up his popularity for a majority, rather than sincerely believing he would achieve one. Trudeau himself is not elected by anyone besides the electorate in his riding: the Governor-General appoints the Prime Minister, who is traditionally the party leader who elected within his own party.
