For what it's worth, Trudeau lost the popular vote last year.

  And gained five seats versus the previous election.

  For what it's worth, the parties to the right (Conservatives and PPC) only received 38.7% of the vote combined.

  That's not atypical in a system with more than two viable parties.

  > For what it's worth, Trudeau lost the popular vote last year. For what it's worth: no he didn't, he got 50.3% of the vote[1]. We don't directly elect prime ministers in Canada.

    50% in a tiny district, 33% whole Canada.

      My comment was a nitpick about how the Canadian electoral system works: no one outside of that particular riding voted for Justin Trudeau, they only voted for their own member of parliament.
