Trudeau Resigning Amid Collapsing Support From Canadians

Far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he will resign as leader of his party and as the country’s prime minister immediately after the party selects a successor.

Trudeau’s decision comes as polls show him trailing far behind the opposition Conservative Party in the upcoming election. Canada’s parliament will be suspended until March 24 while a new leader will be chosen.

“Last night, over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I’m sharing with you today,” Trudeau said. “I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process.”

“Last night, I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process,” he continued. “This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I am having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.”

The majority of his caucus had called on Trudeau — who took over as leader of the party in 2013 and has served as the prime minister of Canada since 2015 —  to resign.

Multiple top officials in his administration have already resigned.

One of the biggest issues in Canada is how the country has started to change after Trudeau welcomed large numbers of Islamic refugees into the country.

Other countries that also brought in large numbers of these refugees included Germany and France, both of which are facing growing backlash.

In the U.S., Vice President Kamala Harris was blown out by President-elect Donald Trump in large part because of how the Biden-Harris administration let millions of illegal aliens into the country.

Trudeau was damaged by Trump’s victory last year as the incoming president threatened to hit Canada with tariffs for not helping to secure America’s northern border.

Trump has also regularly taunted Trudeau, saying he could become the governor of Canada after the country becomes the 51st state in the U.S.

“It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada,” Trump wrote last month. “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!”
