==Background==
The [[2019 Canadian federal election]] resulted in the [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberals]], led by incumbent Prime Minister [[Justin Trudeau]], losing both their parliamentary [[Majority government|majority]] and the popular vote but nevertheless winning the [[Hung parliament|most seats]] and remaining in office as a [[minority government]]. The [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservatives]], who had gained seats and won the popular vote, continued as the Official Opposition. The [[Bloc Québécois]] regained [[official party status]] and became the third party, replacing the [[New Democratic Party of Canada|New Democrats]] in that role, with the latter party losing seats but maintaining official party status as the fourth party. Although the [[Green Party of Canada|Greens]] increased their seats in the [[House of Commons of Canada|House of Commons]], they ultimately failed to achieve the required number of [[Member of Parliament (Canada)|MPs]] (twelve) for official party status, and no other party won any seats.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/federal/2019/results/|title=Federal election 2019 live results|agency=CBC|date=October 22, 2019|accessdate=September 21, 2021|archive-date=October 22, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191022042024/https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/federal/2019/results/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Zimonjic|first=Peter|date=October 22, 2019|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-election-results-2019-cbc-leaders-1.5329485|title=Liberals take losses but win enough in Quebec and Ontario to form minority government|agency=CBC|accessdate=September 21, 2021|archive-date=October 22, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191022165202/https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-election-results-2019-cbc-leaders-1.5329485|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Campaign ==

=== Early campaign (August 2021) ===
[[File:Canadian federal election 2021 in Rosemont.jpg|thumb|right|Election signs on the street in [[Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie]]]]
The election call occurred at the same time as the [[Fall of Kabul (2021)|fall of Kabul]], on August 15.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kirkup|first1=Kristy|last2=Fife|first2=Robert|date=September 21, 2021|title=After failing to secure majority, Trudeau will face questions within his caucus|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-after-failing-to-secure-majority-trudeau-will-face-questions-within/|access-date=December 22, 2021|archive-date=December 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211222212755/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-after-failing-to-secure-majority-trudeau-will-face-questions-within/|url-status=live}}</ref> Trudeau thus received criticism for not acting fast enough in the face of the [[2021 Taliban offensive]] to evacuate Canadians from Afghanistan, as well as Afghans who supported [[Canada in the War in Afghanistan|Canada's military and diplomatic efforts during the War]].<ref name="Bloomberg1" />

Criticism of Trudeau's decision to call an early election, particularly amidst the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Canada]], was a major theme of his opponents' campaigns, and commentators noted a lack of support for a snap election amongst the public.<ref>{{cite news|date=August 22, 2021|title=Jagmeet Singh says election timing may have impeded Canada's Afghanistan response|work=The Globe and Mail|agency=The Canadian Press|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-jagmeet-singh-says-election-timing-may-have-impeded-canadas/|access-date=October 7, 2021|archive-date=November 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211130141647/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-jagmeet-singh-says-election-timing-may-have-impeded-canadas/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=August 25, 2021|title=Canada election 2021: 'Why' we're having an election isn't clear to Canadian voters, expert says|agency=Yahoo News|url=https://news.yahoo.com/canada-election-2021-vote-covid-19-pandemic-230040125.html|access-date=October 7, 2021|archive-date=October 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211008184422/https://news.yahoo.com/canada-election-2021-vote-covid-19-pandemic-230040125.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media|date=September 7, 2021|title=Trudeau pressed on why he called election during pandemic|agency=CBC News|url=https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1941782083510| people =Justin Trudeau|access-date=October 7, 2021|archive-date=October 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211009001734/https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1941782083510|url-status=live}}</ref>

On August 25, [[Minister for Women and Gender Equality]] [[Maryam Monsef]] referred to the [[Taliban]] as "our brothers". Many on social media shared the video of this statement, and saw this as an indication that she felt sympathetic to the terrorist group. Monsef said that this was false, and further stated that she only chose those words because Muslims tend to refer to each other as "brothers".<ref>{{cite news|last=Connolly|first=Amanda|date=August 25, 2021|title=Maryam Monsef called the Taliban 'brothers.'

On August 27, 2021, Trudeau was forced to cancel a campaign rally set for [[Bolton, Ontario]], over security concerns arising from groups of protestors yelling obscenities at Trudeau. There were previous incidents of protesters showing up at his rallies criticizing [[COVID-19 vaccine]]s and public health measures.<ref>{{cite web|date=August 28, 2021|title=Canada election: Justin Trudeau rally cancelled after angry protests|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58364742|access-date=September 26, 2021|publisher=BBC News|archive-date=September 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210926211508/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58364742|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Issues on the campaign trail===

====Foreign policy====
Foreign policy debates focused on [[China]] and the situation in Afghanistan. For Afghanistan, discussions focused on ways to mitigate the immediate humanitarian crisis facing the country.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Turnbull|first=Sarah|date=August 26, 2021|title=Afghanistan crisis dominates campaign trail as Canada's evacuation mission ends|url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/federal-election-2021/afghanistan-crisis-dominates-campaign-trail-as-canada-s-evacuation-mission-ends-1.5562307|url-status=live|access-date=January 8, 2022|website=CTVNews|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210826185228/https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/federal-election-2021/afghanistan-crisis-dominates-campaign-trail-as-canada-s-evacuation-mission-ends-1.5562307 |archive-date=August 26, 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last1=Thevenot|first1=Shelby|last2=El-Assal|first2=Kareem|date=August 16, 2021|title=Afghan refugee crisis: Will it impact Canada's election? {{!}} Canada Immigration News|url=https://www.cicnews.com/2021/08/afghan-refugees-will-it-impact-canadas-election-0818898.html|url-status=live|access-date=January 8, 2022|website=www.cicnews.com|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210816160819/https://www.cicnews.com/2021/08/afghan-refugees-will-it-impact-canadas-election-0818898.html |archive-date=August 16, 2021 }}</ref> The group ''Canadian Campaign for Afghan Peace'' launched an open letter on August 17 calling on political parties to take position of the new situation in Afghanistan.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Draaisma|first=Muriel|date=August 21, 2021|title=Make Afghanistan a Canadian election issue, new group urges political parties|work=[[CBC News]]|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/canadian-campaign-for-afghan-peace-afghanistan-federal-election-humanitarian-crisis-1.6148969|access-date=January 8, 2022|archive-date=January 8, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108204341/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/canadian-campaign-for-afghan-peace-afghanistan-federal-election-humanitarian-crisis-1.6148969|url-status=live}}</ref>

The campaign took place during the [[extradition case of Meng Wanzhou]], which had exacerbated tensions between Canada and China. O'Toole accused Trudeau of being "weak on China", and promised to scale up Canada's hostility towards the country if elected.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bratchford|first=Andy|date=August 15, 2021|title=Beijing shoves Canada's China problem into the path of Trudeau's reelection quest|url=https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/15/canada-china-trudeau-election-504476|url-status=live|access-date=January 8, 2022|website=POLITICO|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210815105416/https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/15/canada-china-trudeau-election-504476 |archive-date=August 15, 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=McCulloch|first=Craig|date=September 19, 2021|title=China Wades into Canadian Election|url=https://www.voanews.com/a/china-wades-into-canadian-election/6234529.html|url-status=live|access-date=January 8, 2022|website=VOA|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210919063652/https://www.voanews.com/a/china-wades-into-canadian-election/6234529.html |archive-date=September 19, 2021 }}</ref>

According to Shadwick Martin, the tendency to relegate defence and foreign policy to minor appearances continued in 2021. He argues that the Liberals did not deviate from [[Foreign policy of the Justin Trudeau government|their government's existing foreign policy]], while the Conservatives produced a lengthy list of reforms that one commentator described as "scattered and unfocused". The NDP's propositions were essentially unchanged from 2019.<ref name="Shadwick2021">{{cite journal |last1= Shadwick|first1= Martin|date= Winter 2021|title= Defence and the 'Seinfeld Election'|url= |journal= [[Canadian Military Journal]]|volume= 22|issue= 1|pages= 58{{en dash}}62}}</ref>

====Climate change====
As in 2019, Climate change was a major issue in the campaign. In March 2021, Conservative leader O'Toole announced a [[carbon pricing in Canada|carbon pricing plan]] to replace the current Liberal [[Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act|carbon tax]], despite previous Conservative opposition to any form of a carbon tax.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cochrane |first1=David |last2=Shivji |first2=Salimah |last3=Wherry |first3=Aaron |title=Conservatives announce plan to replace Liberal carbon tax with a lower levy of their own |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carbon-tax-conservatives-1.5988407 |website=CBC News |access-date=September 26, 2021 |date=April 15, 2021 |archive-date=September 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210926211507/https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carbon-tax-conservatives-1.5988407 |url-status=live }}</ref> There was thus a broad consensus among all represented parties for policies to mitigate climate change, although they differed in the emissions targets, the level of the carbon tax, and the transition path to a clean economy. Only the People's Party opposed all climate change policies and vowed to withdraw from the [[Paris climate accord]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Chung|first=Emily|date=September 12, 2021|title=Climate change and the election: Compare party platforms|work=[[CBC News]]|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/climate-platforms-1.6171619|access-date=December 28, 2021|archive-date=December 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211228214525/https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/climate-platforms-1.6171619|url-status=live}}</ref>

====COVID-19====
The COVID-19 pandemic was a major campaign issue. The Liberal party sought to defend its pandemic response, while trying to tie Erin O'Toole to Alberta Premier [[Jason Kenney]]. O'Toole always sidestepped questions about his previous support for Kenney's pandemic response by saying he would work with any [[Premier (Canada)|premier]] to face the pandemic regardless of their political stripes.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Scherer|first=Steve|date=September 16, 2021|title=Canada's Trudeau Hammers Main Election Rival's COVID-19 Approach|agency=[[Reuters]]|url=https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-09-16/canada-pm-trudeau-says-main-election-rival-has-shown-poor-leadership-on-covid|access-date=December 28, 2021|archive-date=December 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211228214526/https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-09-16/canada-pm-trudeau-says-main-election-rival-has-shown-poor-leadership-on-covid|url-status=live}}</ref> During the campaign, Alberta was experiencing its worst wave of the pandemic in terms of hospitalisations.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Black|first=Matthew|date=March 30, 2020|title=Infographics: COVID-19 in Alberta by the numbers|url=https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/infographics-covid-19-in-alberta-by-the-numbers-1.4874153|access-date=December 28, 2021|website=Edmonton|language=en|archive-date=March 31, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200331183122/https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/infographics-covid-19-in-alberta-by-the-numbers-1.4874153|url-status=live}}</ref>

Meanwhile other parties explained what they would have done differently had they been in a similar situation. The Bloc Québecois criticized the amount of money invested in [[Federal aid during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada|Federal aid]] for workers, especially the [[Canada Emergency Response Benefit]] (CERB).<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=August 3, 2021|title=Le Bloc réclame une réflexion sur la Prestation canadienne de relance économique|trans-title=The Bloc calls for a reflection on the Canada Recovery Benefit|url=https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1814058/bloc-quebecois-pcu-pcre-pandemie|url-status=live|access-date=December 28, 2021|website=Radio-Canada.ca|language=fr-ca|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210804030158/https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1814058/bloc-quebecois-pcu-pcre-pandemie |archive-date=August 4, 2021 }}</ref> The NDP, on the other hand, criticized the government's "aggressive" crackdown on possibly fraudulent CERB claims, while calling for clawing back wage subsidy payments to companies who fired their workers while received this benefit.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Reynolds|first=Christopher|date=May 22, 2021|title=NDP demands federal wage-subsidy clawbacks, but critics question feasibility|url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/ndp-demands-federal-wage-subsidy-clawbacks-but-critics-question-feasibility-1.5439389|access-date=December 28, 2021|website=CTVNews|language=en|archive-date=December 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211228214526/https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/ndp-demands-federal-wage-subsidy-clawbacks-but-critics-question-feasibility-1.5439389|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[People's Party of Canada|People's Party]] was the only party opposing [[COVID-19 pandemic vaccine passports|vaccine passports]], [[mask mandate]]s and [[COVID-19 lockdowns|lockdowns]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Taylor|first=Stephanie|date=September 11, 2021|title=Are the Conservatives worried about the People's Party of Canada – or should they be?|work=[[Toronto Star]]|url=https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal-election/2021/09/11/are-the-conservatives-worried-about-the-peoples-party-of-canada-or-should-they-be.html|access-date=December 22, 2021|archive-date=December 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211222190614/https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal-election/2021/09/11/are-the-conservatives-worried-about-the-peoples-party-of-canada-or-should-they-be.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Debusmann |first1=Bernd |title=Canada election: 'Mad Max' and why his party is on the rise |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58573878 |website=BBC News |access-date=September 26, 2021 |date=September 15, 2021 |archive-date=September 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210927062310/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58573878 |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Gun control====
In September 2021, O'Toole changed his position on [[Firearms regulation in Canada|gun control]]. Reverting from his initial promise of repealing Prime Minister Trudeau's May 2020 ban on assault weapons, he changed his stance on the issue, promising that he would not repeal the ban.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Zimonjic |first1=Peter |title=O'Toole amends platform on gun control, but questions remain about what change means |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/otoole-trudeau-gun-control-platform-change-1.6166354 |website=CBC News |access-date=September 26, 2021 |date=September 6, 2021 |archive-date=September 7, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210907004736/https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/otoole-trudeau-gun-control-platform-change-1.6166354 |url-status=live }}</ref> Political commentators and analysts described O'Toole's leadership as shifting the Conservative Party to the [[centrist politics|political centre]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Le Couteur |first1=Mike |title=O'Toole's election gamble – swinging Tories to the centre |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/8204059/erin-otoole-canada-election-right-centre/ |website=Global News |access-date=September 26, 2021 |date=September 19, 2021 |archive-date=September 23, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210923105533/https://globalnews.ca/news/8204059/erin-otoole-canada-election-right-centre/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Implosion of the Green Party====
The [[Green Party of Canada]] experienced a period of infighting beginning in June 2021, when [[Jenica Atwin]], one of its three MPs, [[Crossing the floor|crossed the floor]] to join the Liberal Party over a dispute regarding the [[2021 Israel–Palestine crisis]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=connolly|first=Amanda|date=July 8, 2021|title='Hiccups' or 'implosion'?

==== Rise of the People's Party ====
The campaign was also marked by a rise in support for the People's Party of Canada. Before the election, [[Mainstreet Research]] gave the party more than 8 per cent of the vote,<ref>{{cite news|last=Emmanuel|first=Rachel|date=September 17, 2021|title=PPC spells trouble for Conservatives in Ontario battlegrounds|work=[[iPolitics]]|url=https://ipolitics.ca/2021/09/17/ppc-spells-trouble-for-conservatives-in-ontario-battlegrounds/|access-date=December 22, 2021|archive-date=December 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211222211336/https://ipolitics.ca/2021/09/17/ppc-spells-trouble-for-conservatives-in-ontario-battlegrounds/|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Abacus Data]] noted particularly high scores among Canadians under the age of 60.<ref>{{cite web|author=<!--Not stated-->|date=September 19, 2021|title=Abacus Data's Final Poll: Conservatives and Liberals are statistically tied on the eve of Election Day in Canada|url=https://abacusdata.ca/election-2021-final-poll-abacus-data/|website=abacusdata.ca|publisher=[[Abacus Data]]|access-date=December 22, 2021|archive-date=June 29, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220629175016/https://abacusdata.ca/election-2021-final-poll-abacus-data/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Justin Trudeau]] and [[Yves-François Blanchet]] indirectly accused the Conservatives for the rise of the PPC, with Trudeau notably criticizing Erin O'Toole for not requiring his party's candidates to be vaccinated.<ref>{{cite news|last=Sanikopoulos|first=Audrey|date=September 12, 2021|title=Progression du Parti populaire du Canada : les chefs fédéraux amenés à réagir|language=French|trans-title=The People's Party's advance: the federal leaders are forced to react|work=[[TVA Nouvelles]]|url=https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2021/09/12/progression-du-parti-populaire-du-canada-les-chefs-federaux-amenes-a-reagir-1|access-date=December 22, 2021|archive-date=December 22, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211222190614/https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2021/09/12/progression-du-parti-populaire-du-canada-les-chefs-federaux-amenes-a-reagir-1|url-status=live}}</ref>

The English-language debate gained notoriety when the moderator posed a question to Blanchet that characterized Quebec's [[Act respecting the laicity of the State|law on secularism]] as "discriminatory".

===Judicial recounts===
In a federal election, a [[judicial recount]] is automatically ordered in a riding where the [[margin of victory]] is less than 0.1 per cent (one one-thousandth) of the votes cast. In cases where there is a larger but still narrow margin of victory, an elector can request a judicial recount. While no validated results triggered an automatic recount in this election, judicial recounts were requested in four ridings: [[Brome—Missisquoi]], [[Davenport (federal electoral district)|Davenport]], [[Châteauguay—Lacolle]] and [[Trois-Rivières (electoral district)|Trois-Rivières]]. Only Châteauguay—Lacolle saw its initial result overturned: the recount had Liberal incumbent MP [[Brenda Shanahan (politician)|Brenda Shanahan]] proclaimed the ultimate winner over Bloc candidate Patrick O'Hara, by a margin of only 12 votes.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/recount-chateauguay-lacolle-liberals-bloc-1.6202220 |title=Liberals defeat Bloc in Châteauguay–Lacolle riding after recount |work=CBC News |date=October 7, 2021 |access-date=October 16, 2021 |archive-date=October 16, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211016084048/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/recount-chateauguay-lacolle-liberals-bloc-1.6202220 |url-status=live }}</ref> It was the first time validated results were reversed by a judicial recount since the [[2008 Canadian federal election|2008 election]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=October 6, 2021|title=Judicial recount gives Trudeau's Liberals one more victory in Quebec |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/8248798/judicial-recount-trudeau-liberals-victory-chateauguay-lacolle/|access-date=December 25, 2021|website=Global News|agency=[[The Canadian Press]]|language=en-US|archive-date=December 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211225230726/https://globalnews.ca/news/8248798/judicial-recount-trudeau-liberals-victory-chateauguay-lacolle/|url-status=live}}</ref> Recounts in Brome—Missiquoi and Davenport began on October 12; however, in both ridings the early count appeared to confirm the initial validated results, leading both challengers to concede defeat and the recount to be terminated.<ref>{{cite web|date=October 12, 2021|title=Quebec riding stays Liberal after Bloc Québécois concedes defeat|url=https://globalnews.ca/news/8261457/quebec-riding-stays-liberal-after-bloc-quebecois-concedes-defeat/|url-status=live|access-date=October 13, 2021|website=Global News|language=en-CA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211013004826/https://globalnews.ca/news/8261457/quebec-riding-stays-liberal-after-bloc-quebecois-concedes-defeat/ |archive-date=October 13, 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=October 15, 2021|title=Election recount in Toronto riding stopped, Liberals confirmed as victors|work=[[CBC News]] |agency=[[The Canadian Press]]|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/davenport-election-recount-1.6212796|access-date=October 15, 2021|archive-date=October 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211015181941/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/davenport-election-recount-1.6212796|url-status=live}}</ref>

Initially, the preliminary results of [[Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia—Headingley]] in the province of [[Manitoba]] were so close that the Liberal former MP [[Doug Eyolfson]] had just 24 votes fewer than the Conservative incumbent MP [[Marty Morantz]], a margin small enough to trigger an automatic recount.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/morantz-eyolfson-charleswood-election-results-2021-1.6185329 |title=Conservative Marty Morantz wins by 24 votes in Charleswood riding, triggering recount |work=CBC News|date=September 25, 2021 |access-date=October 3, 2021 |archive-date=September 30, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210930155718/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/morantz-eyolfson-charleswood-election-results-2021-1.6185329 |url-status=live }}</ref> On September 28, Eyolfson conceded after the validated results had widened the gap to 460 votes, which is approximately 1 per cent of the total vote.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/marty-morantz-increases-lead-to-win-winnipeg-riding-for-conservatives-liberal-doug-eyolfson-concedes-race-1.5603404 |title=Marty Morantz increases lead to win Winnipeg riding for Conservatives; Liberal Doug Eyolfson concedes race |work=CTV News |location=Winnipeg |first1=Kayla |last1=Rosen |date=September 28, 2021 |access-date=October 3, 2021 |archive-date=October 3, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211003060656/https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/marty-morantz-increases-lead-to-win-winnipeg-riding-for-conservatives-liberal-doug-eyolfson-concedes-race-1.5603404 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Analysis and aftermath==
The remarkable similarity of the results and those of the 2019 federal election may have reinforced voters' sentiments that the early election was unnecessary, and its meagre results have left their mark on the electorate. A survey by Maru Public Opinion revealed that 77 per cent of respondents believe that Canada is more divided than ever, and 52 per cent feel that Canada's democratic system is broken.<ref>{{cite news |last= Snyder|first= Jesse|date= September 25, 2021|title= Majority of Canadians say Trudeau should resign following election, believe country more divided than ever: poll |url= https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/election-2021/majority-of-canadians-say-trudeau-should-resign-following-election-believe-country-more-divided-than-ever-poll|work= [[The National Post]]}}</ref>

===Political parties===
Several factors were quickly identified as having had a significant influence on the results. Some political scientists and commentators debated whether the PPC's better performance, compared to the [[2019 Canadian federal election|2019 federal election]], contributed to the Conservatives under [[Erin O'Toole]] losing to the Liberals. [[Mainstreet Research]] CEO Quito Maggi and [[University of Toronto]] political science professor Nelson Wiseman posited that the PPC may have cost the Conservatives at least ten ridings.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gillies|first=Rob|date=September 21, 2021|title=Trudeau's election bet fails, but Tory rival might lose job|website=AP News|agency=Associated Press|url=https://apnews.com/article/canada-health-elections-toronto-coronavirus-pandemic-6e641b4721f22c6dab1435a539d39ed7|accessdate=September 25, 2021|archive-date=January 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220103095651/https://apnews.com/article/canada-health-elections-toronto-coronavirus-pandemic-6e641b4721f22c6dab1435a539d39ed7|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Kustra|first=Tyler|date=September 21, 2021|title=Why did Trudeau win the Canadian election by such a slim margin?|newspaper=The Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/09/21/trudeau-sort-won-canadas-election-new-alt-right-party-got-exactly-what-it-wanted/|access-date=September 25, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Emmanuel|first=Rachel|date=September 21, 2021|title=The People's party cost the Conservatives some ridings|url=https://ipolitics.ca/2021/09/21/the-peoples-party-cost-the-conservatives-some-ridings/|url-status=live|access-date=September 25, 2021|website=iPolitics|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210921225129/https://ipolitics.ca/2021/09/21/the-peoples-party-cost-the-conservatives-some-ridings/ |archive-date=September 21, 2021 }}</ref> The votes obtained by PPC candidates were larger than the margin of victory in 21 ridings, where the Conservative candidate was in second place (12 in Ontario, five in BC, two in Alberta, one in Quebec and one in Newfoundland). Of those seats, 14 went to the Liberals, six to the NDP, and one to the Bloc; however, it has been described as not a simple generalization, as a significant amount of PPC support arose from non-Conservative voters.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Connolly|first1=Amanda|last2=Akin|first2=David|date=September 22, 2021|title=Canada election: Did the PPC split the Conservative vote?

Important vote swings to the Liberals were also noted in ridings with significant [[Chinese-Canadian]] populations, with especially large ones arising in Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill and Richmond Centre.<ref name="Silver2021">{{cite news|last= Silver|first= Janet E.|date= September 23, 2021|title= Chinese-Canadian voters swing results in usually Tory ridings|url= https://ipolitics.ca/2021/09/23/chinese-canadian-voters-swing-results-in-usually-tory-ridings/|work= iPolitics.ca|access-date= September 28, 2021|archive-date= January 12, 2022|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220112114305/https://ipolitics.ca/2021/09/23/chinese-canadian-voters-swing-results-in-usually-tory-ridings/|url-status= live}}</ref> This was predicted early on in the campaign in polling by Mainstreet Research, which observed that they "were not supporting Conservative candidates in the same way they did in the last couple of elections."<ref name="Silver2021"/> While some commentators believed that this may have arisen because of the manner the Tories were handling China-Canada issues,<ref name="Silver2021"/> others wondered whether the abnormally large changes were due to disinformation activity occurring in the local Chinese-language media.<ref>{{cite news|last= Young|first= Ian|date= September 23, 2021|title= Conservative vote plunged in Canada's most Chinese electorates.

Even before the mail-in ballots were counted, the Liberals were projected as leading in 158 seats despite seeing their vote share fall from 33.1 per cent to 32.3 per cent. [[Gerald Butts]], former [[Principal Secretary (Canada)|principal secretary]] to Trudeau, praised the result as a "smart campaign" that prioritized "vote efficiency"; this view was criticized as detracting from other essential aspects of an election campaign.<ref>{{cite news |last= Cosh|first= Colby|date= September 22, 2021|title= Sorry Gerald Butts, elections are about more than winning the most Liberal seats with the fewest votes|url= https://nationalpost.com/opinion/colby-cosh-sorry-gerald-butts-elections-are-about-more-than-winning-the-most-liberal-seats-with-the-fewest-votes|work= [[The National Post]]}}</ref> Other commentators questioned whether the Liberal vote has reached its effective limit, commenting that minority governments have occurred with greater frequency since the [[Unite the Right (Canada)|Unite the Right]] movement and the formation of the Conservative Party in 2003.<ref>{{cite news|last= Bélair-Cirino|first= Marco|date= September 25, 2021|title= L'ère des demi-victoires électorales|trans-title= The era of electoral half-victories|url= https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/canada/635337/politique-federale-l-ere-des-demi-victoires-electorales|language= French|work= [[Le Devoir]]|access-date= September 25, 2021|archive-date= September 25, 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210925134912/https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/canada/635337/politique-federale-l-ere-des-demi-victoires-electorales|url-status= live}}</ref>

The Green Party saw its share of the vote collapse to 2.3 per cent, its lowest level since the [[2000 Canadian federal election|2000 federal election]].

===Calls for electoral reform===
Commentators at ''[[The Conversation (website)|The Conversation]]'' noted that for a second election in a row the Liberals won the greatest number of seats but lost the popular vote to the Conservatives under the [[first-past-the-post]] (FPTP) voting system.<ref name="Antweiler">{{cite news|last=Antweiler|first=Werner|date=October 3, 2021|title=Canada's first-past-the-post electoral system highlights once again the need for reform|url=https://theconversation.com/canadas-first-past-the-post-electoral-system-highlights-once-again-the-need-for-reform-168648|website=The Converstation|accessdate=October 7, 2021|archive-date=October 6, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211006042616/https://theconversation.com/canadas-first-past-the-post-electoral-system-highlights-once-again-the-need-for-reform-168648|url-status=live}}</ref> During the campaign, Trudeau said he remains open to getting rid of Canada's FPTP if re-elected, provided there is consensus on the issue; he also expressed his preference for [[ranked voting]] over [[proportional representation]].

===Retrospective allegations of Chinese interference===
{{see also|Allegations of Chinese interference in the 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections}}
A year following the election, Conservative Party politicians including former leader [[Erin O'Toole]] blamed Chinese government interference as a factor behind the loss for the party. In a 2022 interview on the ''UnCommons'' podcast with [[Nathaniel Erskine-Smith]], O'Toole opined that media outfits linked to the [[Chinese Communist Party]] could have cost the Conservatives up to "eight or nine seats.".<ref>{{cite web |date=June 9, 2022 |first1=Stuart |last1=Thomson |work=The Hub|url=https://thehub.ca/2022-06-09/conservatives-lost-eight-or-nine-seats-in-last-election-due-to-chinese-interference-says-otoole/ |title=Conservatives lost 'eight or nine' seats in last election due to Chinese interference, says O'Toole |access-date=2022-06-09 |archive-date=July 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220729003711/https://thehub.ca/2022-06-09/conservatives-lost-eight-or-nine-seats-in-last-election-due-to-chinese-interference-says-otoole/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

O'Toole's beliefs were supported by Conservative MP and foreign affairs critic [[Michael Chong]] who stated that while the party was initially hesitant to blame China for influencing the vote due to inconclusive evidence at the time, he now believed "The communist leadership in Beijing did interfere in the last federal election by spreading disinformation through proxies on Chinese-language social media platforms that contributed to the defeat of a number of Conservative MPs" citing a report by [[McGill University]]. Similar views were shared by O'Toole's director of parliamentary affairs Mitch Heimpel who claimed Canadian national security officers had contacted the Conservatives around election day to express concerns about potential foreign interference. Heimpel also cited the example of former Conservative MP [[Kenny Chiu]] who had been targeted by a misinformation campaign by the Chinese social media platform ''[[WeChat]].'' Research into alleged electoral interference by McGill University indicated that there was no specific riding specific data to draw a full conclusion on the impact of potential interference and noted "Canadian-Chinese issues were not central to the campaign nor were they top of mind for voters" but concurred researchers had found Chinese state media had worked "with an apparent aim to convince Canadians of Chinese origin to vote against the Conservative Party."<ref>{{cite web |date=January 4, 2022 |first1=Sze-Fung |last1=Lee |first2=Benjamin |last2=Fung |work=Policy Options|url=https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/january-2022/misinformation-and-chinese-interference-in-canadas-affairs/ |title=Misinformation and Chinese interference in Canada's affairs |access-date=2022-06-09 |archive-date=June 9, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220609175706/https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/january-2022/misinformation-and-chinese-interference-in-canadas-affairs/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=June 8, 2022 |first1=Andy |last1=Blatchford |work=Politico |location=Ottawa |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/08/otoole-canada-election-interference-00038297 |title=O'Toole blames China for Conservative election results |access-date=2022-06-09 |archive-date=June 10, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220610005537/https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/08/otoole-canada-election-interference-00038297 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In February 2023, ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' published a series of articles, reporting that the [[Canadian Security Intelligence Service]], in several classified documents, advised that China had employed disinformation campaigns and undisclosed donations to support preferred candidates during the campaign, all with the aim of ensuring that the Liberals would win again, but only with a minority.<ref name="FifeChaseFeb2023-A">{{cite news |last1= Fife|first1= Robert|author-link1= Robert Fife|last2= Chase|first2= Steven|date= February 17, 2023|title= CSIS documents reveal Chinese strategy to influence Canada's 2021 election|url= https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-china-influence-2021-federal-election-csis-documents/|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]}}</ref><ref name="FifeChaseFeb2023-B">{{cite news |last1= Fife|first1= Robert|author-link1= Robert Fife|last2= Chase|first2= Steven|date= February 20, 2023|title= Commons Committee seeks to expand hearings to probe Chinese interference in 2021 election|url= https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-commons-committee-hearings-chinese-interference-election/|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]}}</ref> Other illegal tactics under the ''[[Canada Elections Act]]'' were also revealed, such as directing international students to work for preferred candidates (ostensibly as volunteers, but being paid by sympathetic business owners),<ref name="FifeChaseFeb2023-A"/> and arranging for sympathetic donors to contribute to such campaigns, with the difference between their payments and the resulting tax credits being returned to them.<ref name="FifeChaseFeb2023-A"/><ref name="FifeChaseFeb2023-B"/> The [[Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs|Procedure and House Affairs Committee]] of the [[House of Commons of Canada|House of Commons]] met to discuss these reports,<ref name="FifeChaseFeb2023-B"/> and voted to expand their current inquiry into the [[2019 Canadian federal election|2019 election]] to include the 2021 election as well.<ref>{{cite news |last= Lévesque|first= Catherine|date= February 21, 2023|title= Liberal MP accuses Tories of using Trump-like tactics in questioning past election results |url= https://ottawacitizen.com/news/conservatives-trump-election-interference/wcm/5737f012-7e02-4d35-a853-ee616becc199|work= [[Ottawa Citizen]]}}</ref>
