Trudeau’s decision follows declining public support and internal party challenges. Recent polls indicated that the Liberal Party’s vote intent had fallen to 16% by the end of 2024.
Internal dissent intensified with the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland in December 2024, who departed over policy disagreements, notably opposing Trudeau’s proposal of $250 cheques to working Canadians earning $150,000 or less in 2023.
Potential successors within the Liberal Party include former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, current Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, and economic adviser Mark Carney. The party aims to rejuvenate its leadership ahead of the upcoming general election later this year.
Trudeau‘s tenure was marked by significant initiatives, including immigration reform and progressive policies, but also faced criticism over economic challenges and unmet promises, such as electoral reform.
