The Liberal Party of Canada, led by Justin Trudeau, won the most seats in Monday's Canadian federal election, but fell short of an outright majority.

Elections forecasts by CBC News, CTV, Global and TVA all predicted a Liberal win shortly after 10p.m. EST., when polls in British Columbia closed.

It is now expected Trudeau will lead a minority government, meaning the Liberals would need to garner the support of other parties to pass legislation.
