Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu offered his congratulations to Canadian prime-minister-designate Justin Trudeau in a telephone call shortly after the election, affirming the friendship of the two countries.
Rafael Barak, Israel’s ambassador to Canada, said the call left his country assured that relations between Canada and the Jewish state will remain strong.
“Mr. Trudeau has been very consistent from the very beginning of his campaign in expressing his support for Israel,” said Barak. “Maybe the style will change, but I don’t feel there will be a change on the substance.”

Former PC Prime Minister Mulroney said the morning after ,that he had warned segments of the conservative Party that they were
treating Trudeau too much as a lightweight and and underestimating him
It came back to bite them hard
People in Canada wanted Change and something New
a)Two of three main parties were promoting Change
But
Mulcair seemed like a polar explorer
While
Trudeau seemed like a college kid or teenager
So he obviously represented Change better
Harper was running on a bland “stay the course”
b)Harper also always seemed corporate ,distant and a bit uncanadian
c)Plus, making the Niqab on campaign issue was disaster
He lost the large muslim ,pakistani,south asian communities who on policies mostly would have stood with the tories
