Canada's Justin Trudeau cites 'internal battles' as he resigns after nine-year run [Update @post#29]

[Cricket Warrior]

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he plans to step down once the Liberal Party has chosen a successor, bringing his time leading the country to a tumultuous end.

Trudeau, who became Liberal leader in 2013 and prime minister in the fall of 2015, announced his long-awaited decision outside his official residence, Rideau Cottage, on Monday morning.

Trudeau also said he asked Gov. Gen. Mary Simon to prorogue Parliament until March 24, and she granted the request.

The father of three said he told his children that he intended to leave the country's top job over dinner Sunday night.

"This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it's become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election," he told reporters.

Trudeau's decision will set off a competitive leadership race to replace him and find a contender to take on the Liberals' key rival, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, in the next federal election.

Trudeau said he's already asked the Liberal Party president to begin a "robust" and "nationwide" process to find the next leader.

"The Liberal Party of Canada is an important institution in the history of our great country and democracy. A new prime minister and leader of the Liberal party will carry its values and ideals into the next election," he said.

"I'm excited to see the process unfold in the months ahead."

Trudeau has been under mounting pressure to resign amid sinking public opinion polling, including from his own caucus.

At least two dozen individual MPs and several regional caucuses — including Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario — have called for him to step down since before the holiday break.

I have voted for Justin Trudeau 3 times (2015, 2019, and 2023).

He was good for visible minorities but some of his policies have hurt Canadians including minorities. For examples:

1) He was a climate change nutcase. He introduced an unnecessary tax called "carbon tax" which increased costs for everyone. My expenses increased due to his silly carbon tax.

2) He was very weak when it came to law and order. He introduced a "catch and release" program which meant criminals were often released after they were apprehended. Criminals took advantage of it and crimes increased a lot under his leadership.

3) He was a woke nutcase. He took gender ideologies to an extreme level.

4) Finally, he ruined Canadian economy. Overspending was a key theme.

He was a drama teacher who became a politician. His inexperience has hurt Canada.

[JaDed]

Easily the worst PM of Canada in my lifetime.

Canada is actually super rich on resources, the guy caused issues to oil provinces immensely, he was a nightmare for blue collard workforce that are the backbone.

The guy was so privileged wherever he went , he assumed he could just fix things by sweet talking or avoiding the question.

Has created a nightmare immigration system, purposefully which has brought issues to people coming in and to people that are already citizens, the fallout of his decisions will be there to see for a long time.

Hopefully Canada can heal and actually get back to working now, they have so many resources and potential, government should stay out for a while from business and economy.

Canada can actually join EU , there was an article on a while back and it makes more sense.

Great news . He was a terrorist sympathiser.

It has nothing to do with RAW. RAW cannot do much in western countries.

It had to do with his policies. His policies impacted both white Canadians and minorities.

He has been in power for around 10 years. So, people just want a change I guess.

LOL. Your agent Hasina is unlikely to return. If she returns, she may get arrested or even get hanged.

You overestimate RAW a bit too much.

 

[FearlessRoar]

In my opinion Justin Trudeau significantly accelerated immigration which in the name of diversity brought instability to Canada. And if someone smart enough understands my hint they’ll get it. I hope sense will prevail now.

If you think that was the only issue then your mistaken, you are letting your anti-Indian bias cloud your rationalism he created 100 issues immigration was only one of them.

Quite intelligent. I didn’t even mention India but yes I feel Canada’s main issue is excessively accepting immigration which has led to discomfort for those already settled both culturally and economically.

It’s upto you maybe you have an anti-Indian agenda or not , I don't know I would like to say though to broaden your horizons, even without immigration, Canadian economy would had stagnated under Trudeau.

If I’m blaming his immigration policy how can it be called an agenda? It’s a fact. If you have a counter feel free to present it.

Agree. The way he was Poodling up to the Israeli extremists was shocking in itself. The man had no self respect left .

Actually true on that as well.

 

[kingusama92]

One of his biggest mistakes was the number of people coming into the country (international students/immigrants).

Not because it was the most damaging but because it was the most visible change in society. He ruined his chances of winning again once this happened and gave the opposition a lot to work with.

I think a lot of things are put on his shoulders that aren't solely his responsibility. A lot of these issues are also at the provincial level where the conservatives are already present and doing a terrible job (i.e. Ford in Ontario). This assumption that PP will come in and do a good job will get blown to pieces soon enough but there's no other option available for Canadians to choose.

A new Liberal leader won't have enough time to make inroads. They will have to look beyond this election and focus on the next one. It's kind of like Kamala in the US.

Yes. He made many blunders and that was definitely one of the blunders.

It is funny some Indians are thinking RAW had something to do with this. The truth is Trudeau is unpopular with many different groups for different reasons. He was widely expected to lose next election anyway.

RAW doesn't have that much clout in Canada. Indians are relatively small in number here (3-million out of 40-million; out of those 3-million, many are Khalistan supporters).

He acts morally superior, he alienated blue collared people and their values.
Entire trucking community hates him.
His failure on gas pipelines are other issue.
I can keep going, sorry to say Liberal social policies are ridiculous esp if they don’t know how to create business.

His most passionate supporters just have one solution tax the rich, Canada doesn’t even have the ultra rich.

Exactly, I visit Calgary often (some of my clients are the Canadian oil companies) & the people there absolutely hated Trudeau from the bottom of their heart for effing up the oil & gas industry. Trudeau was a typical liberal - all bluster & no work. His biggest achievement so far (and he was quick in claiming credit for it) was apparently was the USMCA trade deal with Trump, which Trump himself is now ready to dump at the first instance. Trump calling him the Governor of the 51st state of US (which is spiritually true) & Trudeau responding to it meekly was probably the last straw. This is what you get when you don’t have a military force and rely on others all the time.

Canada's Justin Trudeau cites 'internal battles' as he ends nine-year run

Under growing pressure from his own party, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced he will step down and end his nine-year stretch as leader.

Trudeau said he would stay on in office until his Liberal Party can choose a new leader, and that parliament would be prorogued - or suspended - until 24 March.

"This country deserves a real choice in the next election and it has become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election," he said during a press conference Monday.

Trudeau's personal unpopularity with Canadians had become an increasing drag on his party's fortunes in advance of federal elections later this year.

"Last night, over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today," he told the news conference in Ottawa.

"I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust nationwide competitive process," he said.

The president of the Liberal Party, Sachit Mehra, said a meeting of the party's board of directors would be held this week to begin the process of selecting a new leader.

In a statement, he added: "Liberals across the country are immensely grateful to Justin Trudeau for more than a decade of leadership to our Party and the country."

"As Prime Minister, his vision delivered transformational progress for Canadians," he said, citing programmes his government has implemented like the Canada Child Benefit and the establishment of dental care and pharmacare coverage for some medication.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said "nothing has changed" following Trudeau's resignation.

"Every Liberal MP and Leadership contender supported EVERYTHING Trudeau did for 9 years, and now they want to trick voters by swapping in another Liberal face to keep ripping off Canadians for another 4 years, just like Justin," Poilievre wrote on X.

Trudeau, 53, had faced growing calls to quit from inside his Liberal Party, which ramped up in December when deputy prime minister and long-time ally Chrystia Freeland abruptly resigned.

In a public resignation letter, Freeland cited US President-elect Donald Trump's threats of tariffs on Canadian goods, and accused Trudeau of not doing enough to address the "grave challenge" posed by Trump's proposals.

Trump has promised to impose a tax of 25% on imported Canadian goods - which economists have warned would significantly hurt Canada's economy - unless the country takes steps to increase security on its shared border.

Trudeau said Monday that he had hoped Freeland would have continued as deputy prime minister, "but she chose otherwise".

Canada has since announced that it will implement sweeping new security measures along the country's US border in response to the threat.

In an online post, Trump claimed that pressure over tariffs led to Trudeau's resignation and repeated his jibe that Canada should become "the 51st State".

"If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them," he wrote.

Since 2019, the Liberal Party has governed as a minority party.

Following Freeland's resignation, Trudeau lost the backing of parties that had previously helped keep the Liberals in power - the left-leaning New Democrats, who had a support agreement with the Liberals, and the Quebec nationalist party, Bloc Quebecois.

The largest opposition party, the Conservatives, have maintained a significant two-digit lead over the Liberals in polls for months - suggesting that if a general election were held today, the Liberals could be in for a significant defeat.

Liberals will now choose a new leader to take the party into the next election, which must be held on or before 20 October.

A senior government official told the BBC that the race is an open contest, and that the Prime Minister's Office will fully stay out of the process, leaving it to Liberal Party members to decide their future.

Speaking to reporters, the Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-François Blanchet suggested that an early election be called once the Liberals choose their new leader.

End of the Trudeau era

Trudeau is the son of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who dominated the country's politics in the 1970s and '80s.

The younger Trudeau became prime minister after the Liberal Party won a sweeping majority in 2015 amid a promise to usher in a new, progressive era of "Sunny Ways".

His record includes a commitment to gender equality in his cabinet, which continues to be 50% women; progress on reconciliation with Indigenous people in Canada; bringing in a national carbon tax; implementing a tax-free child benefit for families; and legalising recreational cannabis.

Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak praised Trudeau's track record on indigenous issues following his resignation, saying in a statement that he "has taken meaningful steps to address issues that matter to First Nations".

"While much work remains, these actions have laid a foundation for future governments to build upon."

Clouds began to hang over Trudeau's government in recent years, which weathered a series of often self-inflicted scandals, including a controversy over a deal with a Canadian firm facing corruption charges and photos that emerged of the prime minister wearing brownface makeup.

Vaccine mandates and other restrictions were also met with fierce backlash by some Canadians, leading to the Freedom Convoy truck protests in early 2022. Trudeau eventually used unprecedented emergency powers to remove the protesters.

As Canada began to emerge from the pandemic, housing and food prices skyrocketed, and his government pulled back on ambitious immigration targets as public services began to show strain.

By late 2024, Trudeau's approval rating was at its lowest - just 22% of Canadians saying they thought he was doing a good job, according to one polling tracker.

In Ottawa, a small group of protestors danced outside Parliament Hill in celebration of his resignation.

One passer-by, however, said he thinks things were fine under Trudeau's watch.

"I'm a carpenter," Hames Gamarra, who is from British Columbia, told the BBC. "I mind my own business, I get my wages, I pay the bills. It's been OK."

Another Canadian, Marise Cassivi, said it feels like the end of an era. Asked if she feels any hints of sadness, she replied: "No."

"It's the right thing."

I was fan of Justin, during his first term everyone saw his govt and his cabinet as an example for the world.

Justin, definitely did a few right things but he was incompetent unfortunately and too soft for the changing climate of canada. Also having a buffoon like Freeland as his finance minister and clown like Fraser as the immig minister was a recipe for disaster.

Its sad that his legacy would be ruining the immigration narrative in Canada. A country which was pro immigration turned extremely anti immigrant by his terrible free for all mass immigration policies. Nothing gained and everything lost.

Its even worse that the goy from prariries, PP, the snake will be in power. I wish Harper came back instead, at least he was competent.

Good analysis.

And this is the problem not just with liberals in Canada but across in USA too.

Liberals think they know better than the people who elect them. They try to dictate gender identities, wage foreign wars, pick on niche topics and lose touch with the ground.

Thats why far right is succeeding anywhere.

Lets be honest - the main issue was the economic policy.

A policy with no foresight, a country with one of the biggest fossil resources becoming the flag bearer of carbon tax lol

The international student which is a canadian polite codeword for indian students was a tarka on top to destroy the social fabric of canada.

Good move by the Liberals. Trudeau was becoming a liability so he had to be scapegoated. With his resignation hopefully the elections balance out and the Liberals come out on top

I think Liberals are losing this one even if Trudeau is gone.

Canada has seen 10 years of liberal leadership and I guess people want a change now (just like they wanted a change in 2015).

 

[Bhaijaan]

Of all the global political leaders i have ever followed, no one has embarrassed himself nearly as much nationally and worse internationally as has Justin Trudeau. He’s embarrassed and humiliated himself and Canada as a nation and through his terrible foreign policy he’s broken bridges with some of the biggest economies in the world while at the same time has put Canada’s historic western bloc allies in awkward situations to show fake solidarity with his broken foreign policy.

America which has for decades been seen as the Godfather of Canada, an inseparable all weather ally and big brother, whom the Canadians could blindly rely on for decades, even they were forced to show Justin the middle finger and humiliate Canadian nation when President Trump openly mocked Canada to become America’s 51st state. Jokes aside, even Trump cannot post such content against any self respect sovereign power in the world. The fact is that countries like Canada, UK are so broken to the core and have over the years made themselves so dependent on US that they have lost all respect.

A failed leader.
A national shame.

An absolute criminal and if he’s not put behind bars for destroying his country and it’s foreign relations, i will be surprised

Justinder said he is a fighter and he is resigning.
He also said he is resigning in the best interest of his country and his party. Which means he himself is agreeing that he is a failure.

Trudeau says 'not a snowball's chance in hell' Canada will join US

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has hit back at Donald Trump's threat to use "economic force" to absorb Canada into the US saying there isn't "a snowball's chance in hell" to join the two.

President-elect Trump has in recent weeks repeatedly needled Canada about it becoming the 51st US state.

"You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like, and it would also be much better for national security," Trump said at a press conference at his Florida Mar-a Lago home on Tuesday.

"Canada and the United States, that would really be something."

Trump reiterated his threat to bring in a "substantial" tariff on Canadian goods unless the country took steps to increase security on the shared US border.

The ongoing tariff threat comes at a politically challenging time for Canada.

On Monday, an embattled Trudeau announced he was resigning, though he will stay on as prime minister until the governing Liberals elect a new leader, expected sometime by late March.

Canada's parliament has been prorogued - or suspended - until 24 March to allow time for the leadership race.

Economists warn that if Trump follows through on imposing the tariffs after he is inaugurated on 20 January, it would significantly hurt Canada's economy.

Almost C$3.6bn ($2.5bn) worth of goods and services crossed the border daily in 2023, according to Canadian government figures.

The Trudeau government has said it is considering imposing counter-tariffs if Trump follows through on the threat.

The prime minister also said on X on Tuesday that: "Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other's biggest trading and security partner."

During his lengthy Mar-a-Lago press conference, Trump reiterated his concerns he has expressed about drugs crossing the borders of Mexico and Canada into the US.

Like Canada, Mexico faces a 25% tariff threat.

The amount of fentanyl seized at the US-Canada border is significantly lower than at the southern border, according to US data.

Canada has promised to implement a set of sweeping new security measures along the border, including strengthened surveillance and adding a joint "strike force" to target transnational organised crime.

Trump said on Tuesday he was not considering using military force to make Canada part of the United States, but raised concerns about its neighbour's military spending.

"They have a very small military. They rely on our military. It's all fine, but, you know, they got to pay for that. It's very unfair," he said.

Canada has been under pressure to increase its military spending as it continues to fall short of the target set out for Nato members.

Its defence budget currently stands at C$27bn ($19.8bn, £15.5bn), though the Trudeau government has promised that it will boost spending to almost C$50bn by 2030.

British Columbia Premier David Eby told a news conference on Tuesday that a number of Canadian provincial premiers will soon be travelling to Washington DC to lobby against the possible tariffs.

On Monday, Doug Ford, the leader of Canada's most populous province Ontario, said Trudeau must spend his remaining weeks in office working with the provinces to address Trump's threat.

"The premiers are leading the country right now," he told BBC News in an interview.

The comment follows Donald Trump's threat on Tuesday to use "economic force" to acquire its neighbour to the north.

Dream on if you think he'll be put behind bars for calling out India on assassinating Hardeep Singh Nijjar. A lot was wrong with Justin but you're only hurt over this. And if the bridge has been broken, why does India remain as the leading source of newcomers to Canada?

9 years is a long time for one individual as a leader. The Liberals should have requested him to step aside and make way for a new leader a few years ago. Back in 2015 everyone was excited when he came similar to how it was in the US when Obama got elected in 2008 but now everyone cannot wait for his exit. Incumbency factor is very cruel in politics.

I have seen videos on Youtube where random Canadian citizens are abusing Trudeau on his face and all he is saying is - Thank you and have a wonderful day.

He must be super unpopular among Canadians clearly. His party has seen it and if they want to have a hair follicle chance of winning next elections, they need a new face. Someone who is not far left and super woke.

Yes.

It is difficult for any leader to remain popular after 10 years.

For example, Harper lost in 2015 after being in power for almost 10 years (same situation as Trudeau is in right now).

Trudeau did okay during his initial years but lost the plot after COVID. I think coalition with NDP hurt him; NDP is practically a far-left party.

Biggest reason why Trudeau is unpopular is due to economy. Canada's economy tanked under him.

I would say the relaxations allowed to foreign students, international students and Indians in Canada where they have taken over all the odd jobs in Canada, the rental market where it is becoming very difficult for even local canadians to get odd jobs and finding a place to rent has driven anti immigration sentiment up. Plus Trudeau has had his fair share of personal scandals i.e. divorce, charity scandals. People are no longer charmed by him.

Has anyone actually met the liberal and NDP leaders? They come often to GTA the bigshots like Jagmeet, see how they charm and mostly focus on women, just observe their body language when not on camera.
Imm surprised no scandals have come out if it was conservative leaders doing what Ndp Liberals do , they would had been ripped out by the same women.

Irrespective everyone has biases- Churches and business with conservatives, Women and leftists with Liberals
