It鈥檚 part of the campaign playbook to see party leaders talk over each other at debates, but it鈥檚 an unwritten convention for an election winner to let those who have lost address their supporters first.

But after 1 a.m on Tuesday, after winning a minority government, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau started his victory speech in Montreal just moments after Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer began to deliver his concession speech in Regina.

For his part, Scheer also skipped protocol by beginning his speech before NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh finished his in Burnaby, B.C.

At one point, all three men were speaking at the same time.

鈥淔rom coast to coast to coast tonight Canadians rejected division and negativity,鈥 Trudeau began. After thanking his family, campaign team, and voters who voted Liberal nationally and who re-elected him in Papineau, he said:

鈥淎nd to those and to those who did not vote for us, know that we will work every single day for you. We will govern for everyone. Regardless of how you cast your ballot, ours is a team that will fight for all Canadians.鈥

Scheer began by thanking the voters in his Saskatchewan riding who re-elected him and all Conservative candidates and supporters.

鈥淥ur party is strong, we are united and we are on the march, ladies and gentlemen.鈥

He went on to say the Conservatives had won the popular vote and Liberals had lost support in almost all provinces.

鈥淢r. Trudeau, when your government falls, Conservatives will be ready and we will win.鈥

The reaction to Trudeau鈥檚 early speech was immediate.

鈥淍JustinTrudeau showed no class,鈥 tweeted Nathan Cullen, a veteran NDP MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, B.C. who did not run in this election. 鈥淎fter a minute of Scheer doing his concession speech he went on stage effectively cutting him off. I鈥檓 sorry but everyone makes sacrifices in running and class is showing your opponents the opportunity to concede.鈥

Others were able to manage some Canadian-flavoured humour.

鈥淭hree leaders speaking at the same time after #elxn43,鈥 tweeted Toronto Star journalist Susan Delacourt. 鈥淭his minority parliament thing co-ordination is off to a great start, eh?鈥

The incident raised memories of then newly-elected Ontario Premier Doug Ford jumping up to the podium to speak shortly after securing a majority for his PC party before defeated Liberal incumbent Kathleen Wynne had a chance to concede defeat.

His campaign later said that it was a mix-up and not an intentional slight.

Lori Williams, a political science professor at Mount Royal University, says given that all the major parties suffered some sort of setback or missed expectations in Monday鈥檚 vote, 鈥渢o hear them last night it didn鈥檛 sound like they had taken seriously the lesson that voters handed them.鈥

She told 麻豆影视 Channel that Trudeau鈥檚 victory speech lacked humility even though the ballot results 鈥渨ere a real repudiation of many of the things he said and did during this campaign.鈥

Navigating a minority government means compromising and working together but Williams says that message did not come across from either Trudeau or Scheer.

鈥淚 think both of them rely too much on a narrowing base鈥 They鈥檝e got to reach across divisions, they鈥檝e got to appeal to a broader range of Canadians or they鈥檙e not going to be able to effectively lead,鈥 she said Tuesday.

Williams says the only leader who delivered a speech recognizing the need for compromise was Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-François Blanchet.

鈥淗e鈥檚 not crowing about victory or celebrating, he鈥檚 saying, 鈥楲ook, we鈥檝e got work to do. We鈥檝e got to represent the interests of Quebecers.鈥
