The Federalist By: Shawn Fleetwood
The disgraced prime minister’s legacy has been wrought by overreaching government edicts and failed leftist policies.
After nearly a decade in Canada’s highest office, far-left Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday, leaving behind a legacy of ruin and chaos.
“I intend to resign as party leader [and] as prime minister after the [Liberal Party] selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process,” Trudeau said during a Monday press conference. “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.”
The announcement comes amid Trudeau and the Liberal Party’s cratering favorability among Canadians ahead of the country’s October general contest. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, recent polling data has indicated the opposition Conservative Party is on track to win majority control of the federal government, while the Liberal Party is projected to lose a significant number of seats and its hold on power.
In recent weeks, Trudeau has faced calls to step down from opposing members of parliament and lawmakers from his own party. Those calls became especially notable following last month’s exit of Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s finance minister and one of Trudeau’s top acolytes. According to Fox News, Freeland “wrote a scathing letter of resignation,” in which she cited “criticisms over [Trudeau’s] handling of certain economic policies as well as the threats levied by Trump.”
Since winning a second term in office, President-elect Trump has trolled the now-outgoing prime minister by referring to Canada as a “state” and Trudeau as its “governor.” The comments came in reference to the incoming president’s insistence that America is “subsidizing” countries like Canada.
“It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada,” Trump wrote on Truth Social following his late-November meeting with Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago. “I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all!”
Following Trudeau’s resignation announcement, the soon-to-be 47th president floated the idea of making Canada the “51st state.”
