Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he will not seek re-election, effectively ending his career in public office. Trudeau, facing mounting public disapproval over issues like healthcare, housing, and immigration, previously announced his resignation as Prime Minister and prorogation of Parliament. He stated that he is focused on the upcoming US inauguration but remains unclear about his future plans. The Liberal Party will select a new leader, with Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney as frontrunners.
Radical leftist Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau confirmed on Wednesday that he would not be running for a seat in Parliament during the election cycle, effectively ending his career in public office in the near term.
In a sign that the Liberal Party is hanging its hopes on the electorate forgetting its distaste for Trudeau, the prime minister confirmed on Wednesday he would not stick around in Parliament as a lawmaker after vacating the top job, leaving his seat in Papineau, Quebec, open. Trudeau claimed that he was too busy preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Trump, expected to take place on Monday, to plan his future.
While October is the deadline for the new election, a firm date for voting does not yet exist. Conservatives have been demanding a new election since late 2024, pointing to polling indicating that Canadians wanted Trudeau out of office as soon as possible. As Trudeau’s prime ministership relied on a coalition with the far-left New Democratic Party , however, the NDP would also have had to agree to dissolve Parliament for a snap election, which it refused to do.
