Trudeau Wins in Canada, But Will Lead a Minority Government

Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party looks set to win 156 in Canada's house of commons, significantly better than the the 121 currently netted by the conservatives.

He'll need support from the progressive NDP (~25 seats, down from 39) and the Quebecois BQ (~30 seats up from 10) to form a coalition government.

One hopes that what are likely to be his new coalition partners can successfully push to move Canada away from the extraction economy.

Trudeau has been the tar sands industry and the TransCanada Corporation's bitch in his last term.
