It was less than three months ago when it looked as if the Canadians were not able to wait as their leader for the end of the almost decades of stays of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. On January 6th he announced his Intent to step down With surveys, most Canadians show that are deeply dissatisfied with the condition of their country.
When the 53 -year -old Mr. Trudeau officially resigned on Friday, thanks to a longer aggression campaign against Canada by President Trump, his assets took a remarkable turn.
Through Customs that could lead to economic devastation And repeated verbal attacks on Canada’s sovereignty, Mr. Trump has lit a wave of patriotismand Mr. Trudeaus Despite and have an impressive skills helped to gather the nation.
“Canadians are reasonable and we are polite, but we will not return from a fight, not if our country and the well -being of everyone in it are at stake,” he said, after Mr. Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs. “What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that makes it easier to annex us.”
Mr. Trudeau spoke informally as “Donald” and continued: “Although they are a very smart type, this is a very stupid thing.”
In such a difficult time, he is now handing over Mark Carney, a former leader of two large central banks, which were elected by members of the Liberal Party of Mr. Trudeau on Sunday to follow the departing prime minister. Mr. Carney was sworn in on Friday as the next leader of Canada.
Until Mr. Trump started his Broadside against Canada, who caused intense feelings of betrayal, anger and resentment, there was a growing expectation that Mr. Trudeau could leave the liberal party as he found it when he found it when he found it when he found it was his leader in 2013: A body that may be on extinction.
Surveys had shown the liberals consistently Successor of the conservative party, With the gap of up to double digits.
Mr. Trudeau’s decision on the resignation began to reverse the film. But it was Mr. Trump’s on-and-off-and-off tariffs against Canadian exports.
The Liberals essentially deleted the leadership of conservatives, and surveys show that Canadian believe that Mr. Carney could be better able to disturb Mr. Trump as the conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. In order to use this dynamic, Mr. Carney will soon be called a general election that promises to be controversial.
When Canada confronted Mr. Trump with a masters, Mr. Trudeau relied on the speech skills that he calmed the country down during the Covid pandemic, and that contributed to bringing him to power.
His strength during a crisis is: “He suddenly comes strong, finds his feet and can articulate a largely emotional way of reaction as a technocratic reaction,” said Michael Atkinson, emeritus professor of political studies at the University of Saskatchewan.
Nevertheless, Mr. Trudeau leaves a deeply restless country on the domestic front, which presents itself with challenges that will be complicated and expensive, including rising housing costs and increasing prices for food.
The picture for Mr. Trudeau was far rosy after resurrectioning the liberal party and led to a decisive victory in the elections in October 2015 and led to a decisive victory. He made climate change, feminism, reconciliation with indigenous people, immigration and child poverty. During the pandemic, he introduced programs for employees and companies that reduce the damage to the economy.
But the mood towards Mr. Trudeau began to change when he dealt with personal and political failure.
Revelations about his preference for the attraction in Black face or brownface Before he entered politics, his support undermined; He said he was “deeply sorry”, but many people mocked his claim that practice was not considered racist 20 years earlier. Some of the more wasteful holidays he did also criticize.
And Mr. Trudeau was generally regarded as the bullying of a female member of his government, Jody Wilson-Raybindan indigenous lawyer who acted as Minister of Justice and Attorney General. She refused to give in to Mr. Trudeau’s pressure to conclude a contract with an engineering company based in Montreal with allegations of corruption. Mr. Trudeau said he was acting to save jobs because she was afraid of the company’s ability to offer international contracts if there was a criminal conviction.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould returned from the cabinet and was then excluded from the liberal party.
But it was paperback problems that ultimately put the popularity of Mr. Trudeau and the Liberals into a downward spiral when his “sunny way” approach for politics deteriorated.
Driven by the consequences of pandemic and the invasion of Russia into Ukraine, the cost of living in Canada rose. Inflation was a global problem – it rose higher and remains higher in the USA and in Europe. But Canadian voters, As in other countries, they are not inclined to free their guilt. In some major cities, a typical starter house now costs $ 1 million, which hinders economic mobility.
Mr. Poilievre Sezed on Mr. Trudeau’s Vulnerability to Pummel Him Relentlessly, Often Using Simple, Three-Word Slogans-Like “Ax The Tax,” A Reference to a Carbon Tax That Mr. Carney Has Vowed to End-That Seemed A Better Fit with the National Mood.
As Mr. Trudeau Searched the party’s leadership 12 years ago, He told the New York Times that at first he was reluctant to pursue the post because “the amount of garbage would be thrown on me and my family”.
He alluded to some of the hard periods that his famous father Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who had been Canadian Prime Minister for more than 15 years, had left politics in 1984.
“So politics is being done today, even worse than as a child,” he said in the Times interview. “I remember how my parents went through some very difficult times.”
Underlines Mr. Trudeau’s fading appeal that Protest started from Truckern This paralyzed in the city center of Ottawa for almost a month in 2022 was as well as the prime minister for many of his participants as well as pandemic restrictions.
The black flags, which contained a vulgarity in front of Mr. Trudeaus’s name, still fly in many rural areas when it often fades and torn.
Mr. Trudeau has not spoken publicly about what he will do next. But those who know him suggest that a priority will be his family His separation from his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau last year.
Marc Miller, who was an immigration minister under Mr. Trudeau and had been friends with him since he was 11 and the two classmates in Montreal, predicted that he would return to a private life that focused on his three children.
“He probably wants to have some time to radiate his brain,” said Mr. Miller. “This is probably unsatisfactory for anyone who is really trying to hear what his next steps are, but here is the current state of his thinking.”
In the past few days, however, Mr. Trudeau has been very clear about what is in his thoughts.
In a farewell speech before liberals on Sunday, he reminded Canada that fights are sometimes necessary. Then he expressed two words that I understood hockey-loving Canadians immediately and who have become a fight of the fight: “Ellbogen high. ”
