March 12, 2025: In a light hearted moment captured on camera, Justin Trudeau was seen exiting Parliament with a chair in hand and his tongue sticking out, playfully marking the end of his tenure as Canada’s Prime Minister. This gesture may seem unusual, but it’s actually a nod to a long standing tradition that allows Canadian Lawmakers to take their chairs with them when they leave the parliament.
Trudeau’s resignation comes after a decade of leadership, during which his government faced significant challenges, particularly in addressing the housing crisis and rising costs of living. Despite these hurdles, Trudeau expressed pride in the Liberal Party’s achievements over the past decade, highlighting their efforts to support the middle class and those striving to join it.
As Trudeau steps down, Mark Carney has been elected to lead the liberal party into the next federal elections. Carney’s leadership comes at a critical time as Canada navigates a looming trade war with the United States under President Donald Trump. In a post on X, Carney emphasized the importance of unity, stating, “We are strongest when we are united.”
Trudeau’s federal speech was a testament to his commitment to Canada’s future. He urged his supporters to continue fighting for Canada, emphasizing the responsibility to ensure the country remains “the best country on earth.” As the liberal party enters a new era, Trudeau’s words serve as a reminder of the Party’s core values and its dedication to the Canadian people.
