Canada’s long national nightmare is finally coming to an end. Justin Trudeau has announced he is resigning as leader of the Liberal party of Canada. He will remain prime minister until his replacement is announced in a forthcoming leadership race, and has prorogued parliament until 2 March.
What took Trudeau so long to read the tea leaves that have been available for consumption for what seemed like an eternity? His poll numbers, as well as his government’s, have been disastrous for years. The Liberals are well behind Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives. One recent Angus Reid Institute poll had the Liberals at a record-low 16 per cent.
That’s a question only he can answer, but we can speculate on possible reasons. Here’s an easy one: Trudeau is not only the worst prime minister in Canadian history, but also the most delusional.
Liberals have had enough. Canadians have had enough
All of the previous occupants of this esteemed office, both Liberal and Conservative, would have known it was time to depart long ago.
