加拿大的特魯多連任了
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party has won the 2019 Canadian federal election, according to a projection from the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC).
據加拿大廣播公司推測，加拿大總理賈斯廷·特魯多的自由黨贏得了2019年的加拿大聯邦大選。
While the Liberals lost seats in parliament, controlling only a plurality of seats rather than an outright majority, they still have enough to keep control of government.
雖然自由黨失去了議會席位，僅控制多個席位，而不是絕對多數席位，但仍然足以控制政府。
This was an especially bitter campaign in Canada. Trudeau’s government had been rocked by two serious scandals, one involving photos of the prime minister in blackface and brownface, the other involving political interference with a federal prosecution.
這是加拿大尤爲激烈的一場競選，特魯多的政府受到兩個嚴重醜聞影響，一個是總理黑臉和棕臉的照片，另一個是對聯邦起訴的政治干涉。
His campaign went negative — attacking Andrew Scheer, the leader of the opposition Conservative party, as unacceptably conservative on social and economic issues — to scare the generally progressive Canadian electorate into sticking with them.
他的競選不順，他攻擊反對黨保守黨的領袖安德魯·謝爾，稱其在社會和經濟問題上過於保守，以此來嚇唬普遍進步的加拿大選民以獲取他們的支持。
Apparently, it worked. While Liberal power in Parliament is diminished, it’s still a win for the embattled prime minister. And thanks to the way that Canada’s system works, Canadian policy actually could end up being pushed to the left.
顯然這個方法奏效了。雖然自由黨在議會的權利被削弱了，但陷入困境的總理仍然勝利了。加拿大的體制導致加拿大的政策最終可能會被推向左翼。
Canadian elections, like American elections, are a first-past-the-post system — meaning the country is divided into different legislative districts, called ridings, and whichever candidate gets the most vote in a riding wins.
加拿大的大選像美國一樣，是票數最高者當選，這意味着這個國家有多個立法區，被稱爲選區。在一個選區得票最高者獲勝。
However, Canada is a parliamentary system, meaning Canadians don’t directly elect their prime minister — control of the executive is determined by which party can win the most support in parliament.
然而加拿大是議會制，加拿大人不直接選舉總理，由在議會中獲得最高支持率的黨派來決定誰來掌權。
The key fights in the ridings are typically between the two leading center-left and center-right parties, the Liberals and the Conservatives.
選區的競爭主要是左翼和右翼政黨，即自由黨和保守黨兩黨之間的競爭。
