The Heat: Canadian election results

The Heat

Canadians have spoken. Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau will be Canada’s new prime minister. His party’s dramatic victory brings to an end nearly 10 years of Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.

Justin Trudeau told supporters in Montreal that he will be the prime minister of all Canadians. The Liberal Party of Canada swept the election on Monday night to win a majority government over the Conservatives and New Democratic Party. Trudeau credited his victory, after a 78-day campaign, with talking and listening to Canadians and has promised to end a decade of divisive politics, unite Canadians and embrace diversity.

CCTV America’s Roee Ruttenberg joined the discussion.
