Trudeau Re-Elected, Brokers Deal with NDP
Trudeau Earns Third Mandate, May Call Election in 2024
On September 20, 2021, Justin Trudeau led his party to re-election, earning a third mandate to govern Canada. He has since brokered a deal with the left-leaning New Democrats, which will keep his government in power until at least 2025.
Trudeau's Options for 2024 Election
Trudeau may be tempted to hold an election in 2024 for two reasons. First, the fixed-date election law has been repealed, meaning he can call an election at any time. Second, he could find an unlikely ally in the Conservative Party.
Trudeau's Legacy
Justin Trudeau, the first son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was born in 1971. He is Canada's 23rd Prime Minister and is the first to have served consecutive majority governments since the 1960s.
