Did Pierre Trudeau have a majority government or a minority government?

Answer 1

Pierre Trudeau's party, the Liberals, won more than half the seats in the 1968 Election. Therefore Trudeau led a majority government.

In 1972, Pierre Trudeau and the Liberals won the largest number of seats, but not more than half of them, so he then led a minority government.

In 1974, Trudeau once again won a majority.

The Liberals lost the 1979 election to Joe Clark's Conservatives. Joe Clark led a minority government. Clark's government was inept. Within a few months it was defeated on a vote of non-confidence. In the ensuing election, Trudeau's Liberals won a majority.

Trudeau stepped down before the next election.
