TORONTO (AP) – Opposition New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh says he has congratulated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and will be a constructive participant in the new Parliament.  Trudeau’s  Liberal party was projected to win the most seats in the 338-seat Parliament in Monday’s national elections. That outcome would give it the best chance to form a government. Still, the Liberals   were poised to fall short of a majority, meaning they will have to rely on an opposition party to stay in power.  Trudeau is expected to rely on the leftist New Democrat for support at times to pass legislation.
