Last Updated Wednesday, October 23, 2019 5:40PM EDTof the 2019 federal election, allowing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to hang onto power despite losing both the popular vote and his majority government.

The Alberta sweep saw several big Liberal names defeated, including Kent Hehr who ended a nearly 50-year Liberal shutout in Calgary during the 2015 federal election. The lone exception to a Conservative sweep in Alberta was a single NDP seat won in Edmonton.
