Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday that he regrets the tone of the election campaign and pledged to bring unity to the country. He also promised to lower middle-class taxes and to move ahead on the expansion of a western oil pipeline. Trudeau's Liberals held onto power after a closely fought election on Monday but were reduced to a minority government that will need the support in Parliament of a smaller left-leaning party. The vote showed a deeply divided country with the defeated Conservatives winning the popular vote.
