Canada’s Liberal party led by Justin Trudeau, the son of a popular former prime minister, won Monday’s general election. The victory ends nine years of Conservative rule. The 43-year-old Trudeau is the eldest son of Pierre Trudeau who is considered the father of modern Canada. He is expected to succeed the conservative Stephen Harper as prime minister.

#elxn42 - The hashtag trended worldwide with people cheering for the liberals when the early results showed that they had swept all 32 seats in the country’s Atlantic provinces.
