A minority government? A coalition? Trudeau likely to form the government again
OTTAWA: With both main opponent have yet to gain majority seats, there is a good chance that Canada will see a minority government again.
With Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives not managed to swing momentum their way on the campaign trail during a short election.
The Liberals needs 170 seats to gain majority but if no party reaches a majority, Trudeau will have the first crack at forming a government even if he wins fewer seats than O’Toole.
Trudeau could turn to other parties, like Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats to win confidence of the House.
Once again, Singh would play the role of kingmaker and Conservatives might have a hard time finding support from the NDP, as Singh has refused to say whether he would support O’Toole.
