Yes. If Canada had a two-party system, then one party would have to achieve 50% + 1 of the votes to be elected. However, because there are more, one party can win 159 seats without actually receiving 50% or more of the vote.

What is plurality in the US government?

In the context of the U.S. government, plurality refers to the electoral system where the candidate or option with the most votes wins, even if they do not achieve an absolute majority (more than 50% of the votes). This system is commonly used in various elections, including congressional and state elections. Plurality voting can lead to situations where a candidate wins without a majority support, as seen in many single-member districts. This contrasts with majority voting systems, which require a candidate to secure more than half of the votes to win.
