Who’s Who In Canadian Politics
Party Leaders for the election:
Liberals :
Justin Trudeau, who will be the new Prime Minister.
Conservatives :
Stephen Harper, who will still be in Parliament, but has resigned as the leader of his party.
New Democratic Party :
Thomas Mulcair, who is still in Parliament and remains leader of his party.
Bloc Québécois :
Gilles Duceppe, who lost his seat in Parliament and probably his job as party leader.
Greens :
Elizabeth May has retained her seat in Parliament and leadership for the time being.
The feeling seems to be that voters were tired of austerity, felt the economy was stagnant, and didn’t like the government’s foreign policy. They wanted a change from Harper’s ‘doom and gloom’.
