The Trudeau Liberals emerged from the Oct. 21 election with too few seats to govern alone. Here’s a primer on how minority rule could work with the Conservatives, Bloc, NDP and Greens, and what could happen next

Ottawa, Dec.6 (DP.net).– The 2019 Canadian federal election (formally the 43rd Canadian general election) was held on October 21, 2019, to elect members of the House of Commons to the 43rd Canadian Parliament.

The Liberal Party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, won 157 seats to form a minority government and lost the majority they had won in the 2015 election. The Liberals lost the popular vote to the Conservatives, which marks only the second time in Canadian history that a governing party will form a government while receiving less than 35 per cent of the national popular vote. In spite of getting a higher popular vote at the national level, the Conservative Party only got 121 seats. A total of 170 votes are needed in Parliament to get a mojority.

The new Liberal minority government will face its first do-or-die vote by Dec. 10. 

His Majesty warns against unilateral Israeli measures.

 Amman, Nov. 28.– His Majesty King Abdullah has warned that the continued absence of prospects for a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue, the Middle East’s central cause, threatens regional and global stability and security.

In a letter to Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People Cheikh Niang on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People marked annually on November 29, King Abdullah also warned that unilateral measures, including land appropriation and violation of international law and human rights, would only fuel conflict and frustration, thus empowering extremism, according to a Royal Court statement.
