Abstract

The article analyzes the balance of power between the leading national political parties in Canada after the early general elections of 2021 in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the main issues of the election campaign, the key tasks and challenges facing the parliamentary parties of Canada in the coming years, and also touches upon the problem of reforming the Canadian majoritarian electoral system, leading to a serious disparity between the number of votes received by parties at the national level and the number of seats in the House of Commons obtained as a result of the elections.
