Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had hoped to win a fourth consecutive election — and would have been the first to do so since Wilfrid Laurier, more than 100 years ago. In the end, Trudeau will leave office as the seventh longest-serving Canadian prime minister after announcing his resignation on Monday.

Trudeau established gender equality in his cabinet, embraced long overdue reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous communities, and put forward progressive policies; from welcoming Syrian refugees, to legalizing cannabis and tackling climate change.

Over time, the Liberals invested in childcare, dental care and pharmacare, with help from the NDP.

But all that spending created massive government debt, an inflation crisis, and — with aggressive immigration — a housing crisis…leaving the Liberals in trouble once more. And this time Justin Trudeau was not the solution, but the problem.

From “sunny ways” to ethics violations, Eric Sorensen looks at his political legacy.

  1. Is prorogation simply based on the need to appoint a new leader legal? Trudeau the tyrant hasn't resigned technically and still remains as PM for up to four months with this sneaky move. BTW fighters don't quite loser coward Trudeau

  2. He was at par with his first 3 years, barely… but he spent the most of his leadership, overspending, taxing Canadians for no real reason, raised the cost of living, gave money away like it was candy to countries who laughed at us, when Canadians needed it more. He will not be missed and now we have to try and save our country from the reign of a bozo of a leader

  3. with conservative will be disaster, we never forget Harper conservative gov,
    price of house in my local area when Harper conservative took power at 2006 was $400.000 at the time left office in 2015 same house was for $1.200.000,,, now same house is around $1.500.000 , liberal party did a good job and was able to handle the issues, not to forget many of these recent issues are global and related to effect of covid , Ukraine war, and other global political issues across the world, with conservative everything will get much worse, only some wealthy might get some benefits,
    2006 > min wage in BC at $11.00 total income of full time worker 40hrs week, at $1700 renting a room in a share house at $500
    2024 > min wage in BC at $17.50 total income of full time worker at $2800, 40hours / week,
    renting a room in a share house at $800 2800-800= $2000
    i can pay my car expense food etc, with some saving , plus I get some money back as tax return plus some mone return every 3 months. Not sure what some people are looking for!! if you don't know how to manage your financial living.or want to be melionare over a night, don't blame gov,

  4. Blame the people. Millions who are dumb and vote left, millions more who stayed home. It seems people never learn the lessons and consequences of voting for the left.

  5. Trudeau's legacy is not just a tragedy of mismanagement and poor leadership. Trudeau should be a lesson to all Canadians that policy based on bleeding-heart, pie-in-the-sky thinking will always lead to tears. Good government is one that can say NO to the endless demands for spending tax-payer money.

  6. Old dr robert strang of novascotia is probably pooping his pants! When the new government takes over old,dr,Robert strang will be probably be charged for war crimes against novascotias for forcing them to take experimental drugs or lose their jobs and be socially shamed as old dr strang says LOCK IT DOWN AND PUT YOUR FACE DIAPERS ON BECAUSE I AM NOVASCOTIA TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0PPPPPPPPPPP DOCTOR AND you will LISTEN TO ME 😊

  7. The fact that Canadians elected him three times, says all you need to know about the intelligence of the average Canadian voter, people who think balanced budgets don’t matter and legalized pot is the most important thing, clearly have no idea what they’re supporting

  8. Perhaps we should be looking and focusing on his future…hopefully, a future full of court rooms where he’ll be seated listening to all charges against him. All of the millions of dollars he redirected into his and his friend’s pockets over the years.

  9. Let me do the recap of trudeau's legacy truthfully since Global wont.
    1) Gender equallity – when asked about why he said "its 2015" instead of building up the women and empowering them he bulied and forced out the women who would not toe the trudeau line.

    2) Embraced the reconciliation with the first nations. – Promises, Promises and more Promises. Natives are still waiting for that clean drinking water.

    3)legalize Marijuana- here in BC it had been essentially legalized since the 2000s The police were never worried about a pot head with a couple plants

    4) Do i really need to discuss immigration, the fact that global thinks this is somehow a positive?

    5) the paris agreement – The EU using its market power to try and force the haves (countires with natural resources) into have nots. Trust me its got nothing to do with carbon or methane otherwise they would be screamong from the tree tops to get US-Mexico-Canadian oil n gas running at full capacity.

    Nice try global but canadians see through your soft ball journalism

  10. One of the biggest mistakes Canada has ever made……but the government will change history some more and celibate his legacy like that other prime minister that was famous for his paper bags full of money
