Students weigh in on election Langara pupils not happy with Trudeau and think issues need to be verified

 By MISSY JOHNSON

Some students at Langara were unaware of the federal election Monday night, others are skeptical with the results and were united in wanting and expecting more going forward.

Many were not sold by what re-elected prime minister Justin Trudeau had to say; distrust and uncertainty seemed to be the common thread and most expressed relief the Liberals would have a minority government.

The Liberal Party will have 157 seats in the House of Commons with the Conservative Party representing the opposition with 121 seats. The Bloc Québécois made a comeback while the NDP sustained losses and one seat was gained for the Green Party.

Jody WilsonRaybould will sit in Ottawa as an independent MP.

Daniel Watson a first-year information technology student said,

“I’m just happy it’s a minority, I don’t trust Trudeau.”

The last Canadian minority government was in 2011 during Stephen Harper’s second term.

WilsonRaybould said in her victory speech Monday, stronger policies and bi-partisan choices are made with this kind of government.
