Ottawa, Oct 22 (AFP/APP): A weakened Prime Minister Justin Trudeau set out Tuesday to secure the support of smaller parties he will need to form a government after winning Canada’s nail-biter general election but falling short of a majority.
Trudeau’s Liberals took 157 seats in the 338-member House of Commons, down from a comfortable majority of 177 in the last one, official results showed.
Trudeau will thus have to seek some kind of accommodation with the Bloc Quebecois or the New Democratic Party.
