let's go to john terrett. hn, we thought he would respond to abbas, but he percent most of his address talking about iran. >> reporter: it's interesting, because we had been lead to believe that he was not going to spending as much time on iran as in the previous years, and the reason is we were told he wished to move on from that. but in the end, the iran issue really dominated his speech, and i would like to just say something else that i think is very important for our viewers to understand. at times, prime minister netenyahu was very hostile towards the united nations, and hostile to the general assembly in particular, and israel is in many ways not welcome in the general assembly, many of the 193 members of the assembly support the palestinians, the palestinians can get almost anything they want from the general assembly. but israel is often not welcome, and that's why you saw that rather aggressive tone with prime minister netenyahu, fighting back, and fighting israel's corner in the chamber of the genera

john terrett joins us from toronto. welcome. that the dust is clearing and people are digesting the results, how do the leaders explain what happened. >> justin trudeau justifies his campaign as simply the best that could have been run. it was energetic, positive, all embracing, it was internet savvy, it attracted a lot of young voters. at one point trudeau himself called it a movement because he was successful. as for stephen harper, well, he ran pretty much a very negative campaign nflt it was divisive, and a lot of conservative voters abandoned him because of that. he has been in power for ten years as the prime minister, and there were a couple of issues canadians went too far on. one was anti-terrorism laws, and the wearing of face cover. harper wants women to remove their face cover. and the new democrats, he justifies the results last night -- a very bad night for him. but don't write tom off. and the reason is, the ncp is the party that canadians credit for getting their universal health system up and running. and that's
