Global National: Sept. 21, 2021 | Canada’s political landscape changes little after 44th election

Canada’s election ends in déjà vu, as the Liberals fail to win the majority they were seeking. No party got what it wanted, so what does that mean for the leaders? Mercedes Stephenson looks at how the Liberals are trying to spin the results, and what the outcome means for the futures of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. Meanwhile, Abigail Bimman looks at the challenges Trudeau faces now, and what the Liberals lost and gained.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh expressed disappointment at the results of the general election, with his party failing to make major gains in the House of Commons. Robin Gill looks at why Singh’s personal popularity hasn’t translated into votes.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole is still vowing to keep his party moving forward, but his loss in the race now entails an impending leadership review from fellow Tories. Mike Le Couteur reports on what pundits are suggesting the Conservatives do if they want to win over more Canadian voters.

More uncertainty is surrounding the future of Annamie Paul after the Green Party leader failed to win a seat in the House of Commons. trailing fourth place in the riding of Toronto Centre. As Mike Drolet reports, the party is still sending two MPs to Ottawa.

Plus, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s pandemic response sent his popularity plummeting, prompting questions about how he may have torpedoed the federal Conservatives’ election campaign. Jayme Doll looks at how the party lost ground in its stronghold, while Kenney faces a political reckoning.

Canada’s election was unpopular among many voters, and ended with the political landscape pretty much staying the same. But as Eric Sorensen explains, the campaign exposed anger and sharp divisions among Canadians.

And with the 2021 results bringing more of the same, presenting a nearly spitting image of the same Parliament elected back in 2019 – was the vote pointless? Mike Armstrong looks at why heading to the ballot box should not be taken for granted, regardless of the outcome.
