Despite the spin the Conservatives are trying to sell, the government doesn't change with elections, the House does. Generally, if another party wins a majority, the outgoing Prime Minister will resign and the Governor General will appointment a new Prime Minister as it's clear that the previous government will not last. However, if the Prime Minister believes they have the ability to hold the confidence of the House, they are under no obligation to resign. I highly doubt Trudeau would resign in the circumstance that both the PCs and the Liberals held a minority, and if the Governor General were to dismiss him and appoint Andrew Scheer, it would be an astonishing overstep. It's pretty much unfathomable.
