Canada PM Justin Trudeau Leadership News: Canada's ruling Liberal Party has suffered a major setback in the special election for the Toronto-St. Paul district. In this election, he has lost the seat which he had held for the last three decades. The unexpected defeat has raised questions on Trudeau's leadership and it is feared to have an adverse effect in next year's general election. The opposition Conservative candidate won by about six hundred votes in Toronto-St. Paul. He got 42.1 percent of the votes while the Liberal candidate got 40.5 percent of the votes. The Toronto-St. Paul seat has been with the ruling Liberal Party since 1993. Trudeau's defeat in Canada's largest city, a stronghold of the Liberal Party, can create problems for Trudeau in the 2025 elections.
According to Canadian historian Robert Bothwell, this defeat will definitely weaken Justin's position in the party. So far, some leaders of the Liberal Party have quietly left the party but now they will choose to protest. The Liberal Party made a strong effort in the Toronto election, sending ministers and staff from Ottawa to campaign. Trudeau expressed his intention to become the party leader in the next election. Despite being in power since 2015, the Liberal Party seems to be struggling with inflation and rising inflation.
The Conservative Party candidate said voters have sent a clear message to Trudeau through this election that they want change. Trudeau ended nearly a decade of Conservative rule in 2015 and established a liberal identity. His notable achievements include immigration reform, the legalization of cannabis and the implementation of a carbon tax to combat climate change. Trudeau's father, Pierre Trudeau, ruled for nearly 16 years after winning the 1968 election.
