Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau has resigned from the post after being in power for almost a decade. Trudeau, 53, announced this major decision during a press conference in Ottawa on Monday. During this, he mentioned the achievements, challenges and one regret of his field of work.
Trudeau’s regret
Trudeau said,
“If I regret anything, it’s that we didn’t succeed in changing the electoral system in Canada. I wanted Canadian voters to be able to record their second and third choices on the ballot paper as well. This change was necessary for the country.”
He said Canada needs to choose the right leadership in the next election.
“It has become clear that if I have to fight an internal battle, I cannot be the best choice in the election.”
Difficulties faced and reason for resignation
- Inflation and internal discontent:
- Trudeau was facing criticism within his own party.
- Rising inflation in the country and dissatisfaction in the Liberal Party became the major issues.
- Election Challenge:
- The path for the Liberal Party in the upcoming general elections was not easy.
- Trudeau admitted that this election could become a big challenge for his party.
- For all these reasons, Trudeau chose to step back.
Growing popularity of Conservative Party
- In the recent survey, the Liberal Party is lagging behind the Conservative Party by 20 points.
- Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s popularity has increased.
- Poilievre has been a staunch critic of Trudeau’s economic and social policies.
- This situation further increased the challenge for Trudeau and the Liberal Party.
parliamentary proceedings adjourned
- Trudeau has received permission from the Governor General of Canada to adjourn parliamentary proceedings till March 24.
- This will give the Liberal Party time to regroup before facing opposition in the House of Commons.
