Justin Trudeau's political era is ending due to multiple converging challenges:

Political Pressures
  • Declining poll numbers show the Liberal Party trailing the Conservatives by over 20%
  • Growing internal party dissent, with over 50 Liberal MPs calling for his resignation
  • Loss of key allies, including Deputy Minister Chrystia Freeland's dramatic departure
Economic and External Challenges

  • Struggling economy with high household debt and poor productivity
  • Potential trade tensions with Donald Trump, who has threatened 25% tariffs
  • Inability to effectively campaign in the upcoming 2025 federal election
Strategic Decision
Trudeau announced he will resign as Liberal Party leader, stating he would remain prime minister until a new leader is chosen. He emphasized that "this country deserves a genuine choice in the next election" and acknowledged the internal conflicts hindering his political effectiveness.The resignation marks the end of his nine-year tenure, with Trudeau positioning it as a strategic exit before potentially facing a more humiliating defeat in the upcoming election.
