Part 2/8:
For many, Trudeau's resignation has been long overdue. Having faced increasing unpopularity due to rising inflation, an affordability crisis, and a tumultuous trade relationship with the U.S., he has remained in power longer than many anticipated. Trudeau’s leadership has been characterized by drama, including perceived failures to address key issues such as the housing crisis and the ongoing fentanyl epidemic tied to cross-border crime.
In the final days leading to his resignation, Trudeau appeared to struggle with maintaining decorum, often resorting to emotional displays—such as breaking down in tears during a recent press conference. Here, he attempted to rally the Canadian people to stand firm against Trump's tariffs, even as his leadership was coming to a crashing halt.
