Summary:

Canadians went to the polls to elect their 42nd Parliament on October 19, 2015. Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party won a majority of seats in the House of Commons, defeating Prime Minster Stephen Harper's Conservative Party, which had held power for nearly a decade. Trudeau and the Liberals have pledged to implement policy changes that have implications for several aspects of U.S.-Canadian relations, including cooperation on defense, trade, energy, and climate change.
