CBC just called a Liberal minority government for Justin Trudeau...

Majority was always going to be tough, with 6 parties.

Hopefully, Liberals + NDP will have 170+ seats between them, so can form a strong left coalition government.

not quite have a majority quite yet. It is important that they do. Anyhow i am happy with a Liberal minority. No a bad thing that they have to appeal to other left parties to pass a budget. And they could break bread with the Bloc Quebecois who are a left party too and did not run on separation this time.

Tossed out a few of the Liberals in the cabinet and went all in on a sagging Con party.

The coalition needs to use the NDP seats in Sask and Alberta for cabinet ministers.

embracing separation (any more than separatist movements in the US have any great popularity).

Alberta separation is a thoroughly stupid idea in any case - there is no way we would be better off under any plausible subsequent scenario.
