Summary/Abstract: Following the federal elections of 21 October 2019, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) remains a prominent player in parliament. However, it lost its majority and will rule in a minority government. Concerning domestic issues, growing regional differences will demand the government’s attention. The challenge in foreign affairs will be repairing relations with China and avoiding further trade escalations with the U.S. Amid the Chinese-American rivalry, Canada may look for closer relations with the EU.
