Why the Trudeau era has come to an end
Watchlive
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
- 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
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.
