Justin Trudeau has brokered a deal with the left-leaning New Democrats that will keep his minority Liberal government in power until 2025.
Canada’s next fixed election date is Oct. 25, 2025.
“I’ve thought long and hard about this,” Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa. “It was not an easy decision. With so much instability around us, Canadians need stability.”
The agreement comes months after Trudeau failed in a second-straight election to recapture a majority grip on Parliament he won in 2015.
