So far Justin Trudeau's Liberal party has less votes 5888282 than his Conservative party opponent 6137046, but Liberal party has more parliament seats
Although Justin Trudeau's Liberal party as only 33.1% of the vote at present, and his main opposition the Conservative party has 34.4% at present, Justin Trudeau proclaims his astounding victory with...

"Trudeau thanked his supporters, his campaign team, staff and candidates for their hard work. "You did it, my friends. Congratulations," he said.

"From coast to coast to coast tonight, Canadians rejected division and negativity. They rejected cuts and austerity and they voted in favour of a progressive agenda and strong action on climate change."

Unfortunately this sort of anomaly happens in many democratic systems. Like in the US, where the popular vote did not elect the lawful President. Clinton (65,853,514) and Trump (62,984,828). I offer no judgement. Just for information.
And in the UK , or example.. the MP for the Wirral (Merseyside) is elected to represent 55,000 electors, while The MP for the Isle of Wight represents over 110,000 voters. How crazy is that?

You can't really compare this election to the US. Trump got a lot more than just 1/3 of the vote that Trudeau got.
I make no comparison or judgement.. Simply point out that anomaly that can arise in different democratic constitutions.. that produce results that look strange.
Point is that (a)neither got a majority.. yet both are lawfully elected
In the Canadian First past the Post system an absolute majority of the electorate is not needed, and is rarely achieved.

Ha! Information only? No judgement? Really? Rough morning for you so far '"lawful president" referring to clinton, by inference makes Presidend Trump's Presidency unlawful? Looking at the world through a jaundiced eye mehinks. The same eye that would ignore the straight out Brexit majority in favour of the losing minority. There is a system in place and its only ever unfair to the losers who, not able to accept the outcome cry foul! foul! Hope you have a very succesful trading day and forget all the bad things.
