For what it's worth: no he didn't, he got 50.3% of the vote[1]. We don't directly elect prime ministers in Canada.

50% in a tiny district, 33% whole Canada.

My comment was a nitpick about how the Canadian electoral system works: no one outside of that particular riding voted for Justin Trudeau, they only voted for their own member of parliament.

That's not atypical in a system with more than two viable parties.

For what it's worth, the parties to the right (Conservatives and PPC) only received 38.7% of the vote combined.

And gained five seats versus the previous election.
