2019年10月,特鲁多带领自由党再次赢得大选,但却是以少数派政府得以连任。这一局面对于自由党来说,意味着接下来的执政将受到掣肘,并且危机四伏。保守党和新崛起的人民党不断地抨击自由党政府,而其他在野党也并未如此前所表达的那样对特鲁多予以支持,尤其是新民主党。特鲁多连任初期,遭遇了国内一系列的矛盾与问题,包括西部省份闹独立、铁路大罢工、原住民反对能源管道建设等,危机重重。然而,突如其来的新冠疫情却让特鲁多第二任期的局面有了转机。面对疫情,联邦政府一系列抗疫及救济措施让选民感到满意,特鲁多本人和自由党的支持率都有所上升。不过,这一切都是用日益高企的财政赤字换来的。疫情之后,特鲁多政府将面临如何恢复经济、降低赤字以及解决国内矛盾等各种难题。
In October 2019,Trudeau led the Liberal Party to win the election again,but was re-elected with a minority government. For the Liberal Party,this situation means more constraints and crisis. The Conservative Party and the newly rising People’s Party continue to criticize the Liberal government,and the other opposition parties have not supported Trudeau as they expressed previously,especially the New Democratic Party. In his early re-election,Trudeau encountered a series of domestic contradictions and problems,including the requirements of independence of the western provinces,the railway strike,and the aboriginal opposition to the construction of energy pipelines. However,the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 gave Trudeau a chance for the second term. In the face of the pandemic,the federal government has adopted a series of anti-pandemic and relief measures to satisfy voters,due to which approval ratings of Trudeau and the Liberal Party have held up. However,all these have been exchanged for increasingly high fiscal deficits. After the pandemic,the Trudeau government will face various problems such as how to restore the economy,reduce the deficit,and resolve domestic conflicts.
