Students across Canada held their own mock vote.
Quebec students would've also favoured the Liberals and helped them win a minority government — though a much slimmer one — if they were able to vote, according to Student Vote Canada.
If students were able to cast ballots in the federal election, the Liberals would have won 116 seats nationally, forming a minority government. The official opposition would be the New Democratic Party (NDP), with 106 seats.

While the Liberals would have won the election, they would've lost the popular vote to the NDP.
In Quebec, the Liberals would've won 38 seats, with the Bloc Québécois in second place at 20. The NDP was much worse off in Quebec, winning only 9 seats.
The Student Vote is an educational program that runs at the same time as the official election with the goal of teaching young people how to participate in the electoral process. The students get to cast a ballot exactly like the real thing and the votes are then counted.
More than 700,000 students from across Canada participated in this election's Student Vote.
Will anything fundamentally change?
Now that the dust has settled on the 2021 Federal Election, many of us living in Quebec might be wondering what the point of all this was. But no election is without some kind of meaning, especially for voters.
So, what did this election mean for the people of Quebec and what does a Liberal minority mean for the province?

In its platform, the Liberal Party made several promises for the future of Quebec should they win another government.
From child care support to promising to protect the French language, Trudeau made an ambitious series of proposals to get re-elected and for the most part, it worked to get him votes in Quebec.
The electoral map in Quebec, in fact, remains largely unchanged from the previous election.
Of the tangible promises made to Quebec, the Liberals are on the hook for:
It will be interesting to see if these, among the Liberal's other, less tangible promises, will ever come to pass.
A month ago, Quebec premier François Legault outlined 10 demands for the province to the leaders of the federal parties.
Increasing federal transfer money for health care and more control over immigrant selection were among his top demands.
"Quebec cannot function in a multiculturalism regime like the rest of Canada," Legault said in a press release.
"We absolutely must integrate immigrants into the francophone majority."
Legault also asked the feds to apply Bill 101 to companies under federal jurisdiction, to leave Bill 21 alone, and to increase federal funding for climate change initiatives.
But there's not much in the Liberal Party platform that is explicitly aligned with Legault's demands.
I wonder if we could call an election about the return of his beard?
When talking to politicians, most times we want to know about their views on serious subjects. But sometimes, you just want to get to know them a little more personally.
MTL Blog reporter Alex Melki got to talk to Justin Trudeau at Jarry metro Tuesday morning and he chose to take the light-hearted route when it came to his question.
But it was one many Canadians were probably wondering... "When is the beard coming back?"
If you were a fan of the beard, we've got some bad news. The prime minister responded "hopefully never," so we'll likely be seeing a clean shaved Trudeau during his next four years in office.
This isn't the first time Trudeau's looks have been brought up before either — there's been everything from a viral video of Trudeau stroking his luscious locks taking over the internet to us all noticing how badly he needed a haircut when hairdressers were forced to close during the pandemic.
The Prime Minister visited Jarry metro Tuesday morning.
After making his way back to Montreal on September 20 in order to vote in his Papineau riding, Justin Trudeau and his Liberal party won a minority government yet again.
And now, the prime minister is out and about in our city.
On Tuesday morning, he was spotted greeting supporters at Jarry metro station.
MTL Blog reporter Alex Melki got to speak with Trudeau at the metro and asked him a very important question: when is his beard coming back?
"Hopefully never," he said.
