Canada's New Anti-Immigrant Party Is Crushed in National Elections
------------------------------------------------------------------

The latest results from the Canadian national elections show Canada's
newly formed anti-immigrant party failed to win a single seat in
Monday's elections. The People's Party of Canada fielded more than 300
candidates, but received only 1.5% of the vote. Even the party's leader,
a former Conservative Party politician, lost his parliamentary seat.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held onto power in Monday's tight
elections, although his Liberal Party did not win a majority.
