In an interview in December 2022, Justin Trudeau allowed himself to talk about legacy.

He has typically avoided entertaining such stuff. But sitting in his West Block office a little more than two years ago, he spoke of “unfinished business” and a desire to “lock in what Canada is doing as an open, progressive, confident democracy.” And when it was pointed out to him that it sounded like he was talking about a legacy, he didn’t entirely run away from the idea.

“I don’t expect that when the dust settles and I’m a paragraph in some history book, 30 years from now, people are going to be able to point [to the equivalent of] multiculturalism or the [Charter of Rights and Freedoms] as the big legacies or the big consequence,” he told me.

Canadians who don’t adhere to Justin Trudeau’s woke globalist ideology breathed a sigh of relief on Monday when he finally announced his imminent retirement from politics.

But that is no reason to celebrate. He destroyed Canada on every possible level with his lunatic far-Left policies.

His Liberal Party used to be a pragmatic centre-Left party. Trudeau threw this overboard with a decade of massive spending, deficits, low growth, inflation and a doubling of our national debt; relentless interventionism; the creation of new unsustainable social programs; and no increase whatsoever in our standard of living during this whole period.

A bill guaranteeing pension payments for dozens of MPs elected in 2019 lapsed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to prorogue Parliament, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

The next fixed election date under the Canada Elections Act is Monday, October 20. MPs first elected in 2019 would not meet the minimum six years’ seniority needed to qualify for a pension until Tuesday, October 21.

In the spring of 2013, Justin Trudeau, then newly elected as leader of the federal Liberals, gave a speech at a downtown Toronto hotel, comically heavy on bromides and platitudes.

In what would become his signature style of oratory, he made sweeping generalizations that lacked specific evidence. Canadians had a unique tendency toward hope and progress and hard work, he said, perhaps unaware that this was about as meaningful as saying we had arms and feet and eyes.

TORONTO—After President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory, Canadian officials began racing to rebuild “Team Canada”—the bipartisan group of federal, provincial and business officials led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who pushed back against Trump’s tariffs in 2018.

Today, Team Canada has a problem: It is leaderless.

Ruinous economic policy, worse government services, and widespread social disorder — these are the results of his nine years.

Justin Trudeau has finally announced that he will resign as Prime Minister of Canada as soon as the Liberal Party elects a replacement leader. The announcement followed his botched firing attempt of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, last month, preempted by her resignation on the day she was to deliver the government’s economic statement, throwing Trudeau’s already troubled leadership into further turmoil. Ahead of his resignation, the Liberal Party’s Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic caucuses all called for Trudeau to step down, effectively making his continued leadership impossible.
