When's the last time Trudeau won a plurality of votes?

Canada's electoral system is extremely non-linear. The US' electoral college is far far more linear wrt popular vote than parliamentary elections, generally, and Canada's in particular.

For the curious, 2015, which was 9 years and 3 elections ago. And he got less than 40% of the vote.
