Tom. Trump did not win the popular vote neither. It is called a representative democracy whereby groups of people (location areas) elects and not a pure democracy. It seems Canada does it by the majority of districts whereas the USA is by the electoral college. Basically, it seems the same.

From the numbers I've seen, the conservatives got routed in the election. The Conservative Party received 34% and the People Party less than a percent. That means over 65% of the voters voted for progressive candidates. (Assuming thoe whacky Quebec nationalists are mostly progressive).
