Trudeau’s Liberals win Canada election, but miss majority

Basic summary:

1. Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party has won enough seats to form a minority government, but has fallen short of majority government.
2. PM Trudeau had called a snap election half way through his government's 4-year term, with his party seeking to govern in their own right.
3. The main opposition Conservative Party, led by Erin O'Toole, wins the popular vote.
4. Despite fluctuations in polling during the campaign, overall there is very little change in the outcome compared with the 2019 election.


(Sorry for the odd list formatting, I can't seem to make bulleted lists work.)
