Justin Trudeau, the eldest son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, won the leadership of Canada’s Liberal Party that his father led for more than 16 years.
Trudeau, 41, received more than 80 percent of the points available to candidates in the leadership race under a formula that gave each riding an equal weighting, according to results released yesterday in Ottawa by the party. Voting by members and party supporters was done online over the past week.
