Here's a look at some of the notable politicians who were elected, re-elected or lost tonight
Justin Trudeau is still prime minister and Andrew Scheer is still leader of the Opposition.
But the Liberals have been reduced to a minority government, and the Conservatives have increased their seat total along with coming out ahead in the popular vote.
The Bloc Quebecois is back — with official party status. The Greens' caucus now stands at three, and the NDP, despite losing 16 seats from its 2015 totals, finds itself in a position of some influence given the Liberal's minority position.
