Last night, the Liberal Party of Canada won the general election, and Justin Trudeau is to become the next prime minister of Canada. Adam Daifallah joins me now as we look at what happened in the country. How did Trudeau win? Why did the country vote Liberal in surprising numbers? What is Stephen Harper’s legacy as he leaves the office of prime minister? What happened to the NDP and Thomas Mulcair? What might we expect in the next four years? We’ll tackle some of these questions now. Adam Daifallah is partner at the strategic communications and government relations consulting firm HATLEY Strategy Advisors.
