Image source, ReutersJustin Trudeau hoarsely delivered a lengthy victory speech, saying "this is what positive politics can do".
Amid cheers of "Justin! Justin! Justin!", Mr Trudeau said politics do not have to be negative to be successful and that Canadians sent a clear message that it's time for a change.
"You can appeal to the better angels of our nature and you can win while doing that," he said, referencing an Abraham Lincoln quote.
He thanked former Conservative Leader and Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his 10 years of service and said Conservatives "are not our enemies-they're our neighbours."
"We won this election because we listened... We can make anything happen if we put our minds to it and work hard. I'm not the one who made history tonight - you are," Mr Trudeau said.
He mentioned championing the rights of indigenous peoples and preserving the rights of Canadians to make their own choices, referencing the niqab debate.
"We beat fear with hope. We beat cynicism with hard work. We beat negative politics. In Canada, better is always possible," he said.

End of X post 2'History in the making'published at 4:35
Anthony Zurcher, North America reporter in Montreal
Image source, ReutersIt has become a night of superlatives for the Liberals in Canada.
For only the second time in history, a party has gone from third place in Parliament to first. The Liberals control more seats in Quebec than they’ve had in a generation, dealing a crushing blow to the formerly ascendent left-leaning New Democratic Party. They won at least one race in the Conservative fortress of Calgary, hometown of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, for the first time since 1968.
Justin Trudeau campaigned as a candidate of change, and his party is poised to hand the incumbent Conservatives one of the worst defeats in their history.
At Liberal Party headquarters in Montreal, the mood has gone from excitement to pure jubilation, as the crowd cheers win after improbable win.
“I’m so excited,” said Karyn Decore, who flew in from Edmonton – another conservative Alberta city that could send a Liberal to Parliament – for Monday night’s party.
“I could feel in my heart that change was coming. This is history in the making.”
