If he does, I reckon it might actually be a relief for him, as he won't have to deal with Trump.
And I'm sure he'll have plenty of avenues open to him: the speaking circuit, an autobiography, Melania's bit on the side...

Things have basically happened as I said back during that last G7.
Who remains from that group picture whose government hasn’t collapsed or hasn’t already been kicked out of office?
see ya Justin.

Justin Trudeau, totally discredited. What a mess he made of Canada. It’s a changed country now. Terrible.
JJE
Looks like he will jump instead of being pushed.
He could have applied for the upcoming position of Governor.
Fighto!
Don't particularly like the man - he originally got to the top off having the famous name I'd say. But winning three elections in the Westminster system is a decent achievement in this day.
Trudeaus resignation may just prevent a complete landslide like recently seen against the Tories in the UK.

Yep, look at that photo of them all around the table at the Italy G7 last year, silly grins and all. Most are gone or sinking and/or lost their authority because of ropeable voters. The two Eurocrats don't count as they don't face voters. The only one still standing and politically intact - not to mention whose star is rising with regards to Trump - is Meloni (who is mentioned in another article today, visiting a certain somewhere). Justin but the latest and certainly not last.
Blacklabel
Yeah that is the main remaining question, is he still able to be the governor of the 51st state later if asked?
G7 gonna have all new leaders by 2025 meeting except Miss Italy.
Whose Florida visit to the real world leader appears the have been much more successful than Justin’s. Maybe he should have asked for an endorsement to keep his job.

See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.

Exactly - looks like Justin's job interview at Mar-a-Lago for the position of Governor didn't go as smoothly as he hoped.
bass4funk
Well, karma just crept up on him. He has to live with it now.

Maybe he should have asked for an endorsement to keep his job.
Justin Trudeau serves at the pleasure of Donald J. Trump, the Great and Powerful!
This is what the American people voted for in a landslide mandate, so Canadians get . . . nothing.
JJE
Finally, it's sinking in.

Keep in mind, Justin will always be rightfully remembered for many of the wrong things - but this is the most despicable.

Hard not to have contempt for such conduct. Surprised more don't.
plasticmonkey
Do explain.
bass4funk
You made the statement, I was just agreeing with you.
USNinJapan2
Good riddance. About time Canadians regained their senses.
MilesTeg
He was elected in 2015 and reelected in 2019 and 2021 and has served as PM for 10yrs. What karma. He probably wants to retire.
I may mot agree with some of his policies but he was democratically elected and reelected twice. Are you some of kind of communist or have an issue with the democratic process.
kaimycahl
What took him so long to decide?

Finally, some GOOD NEWS for Canada. Trudeau stepping down would mark the end of an era of woke virtue-signaling that embarrassed the nation on the global stage. From his infamous and ironic blackface scandal to strutting around in pink high heels in Parliament, Trudeau has been a walking irony, more focused on antics playing up his "male feminist"/"trans-friendly" persona (even more irony) than addressing real issues. Maybe now Canada can move forward with leadership that prioritizes integrity and common sense over theatrics.
bass4funk
Yes, and that means the same for his departure, democratically the people want a new leader, that's a fact, and good on the people.
bass4funk
I agree.
Jimizo
Yes, fair point. He was successful at the ballot box. Three election wins not to be sniffed at but politicians can outstay their welcome.
Looks like he’s got free time on his hands.
Ricky Kaminski13
He has some good competition, but True Dough will be looked back by historians as one of the worst leaders the West has ever allowed itself to conjure. A narcissistic low IQ virtue signaling ex drama teacher riding on his father’s name and legacy at the expense of an entire country.
Hopefully the damage done to Canada is not irreversible but it will take a lot of time and effort to clean up the mess he has made. What an absolute joker.
MilesTeg
It's not a fact. If they democratically wanted a new leader, an election is the only real way to prove that. There wasn't. Popularity polls are meaningless. Not surprised that you think it's a fact when it's not and that you think some kind of democratic process occurred. LOL!
Blacklabel
Trump is arriving while Justin is departing in the exact same timeframe.
bass4funk
No?
Ahhh, so that explains the 68% disapproval
So the should just take what they get and be quiet…
Hey, hey, it’s ok, he’s out, I’m happy so, that’s the only thing that matters. Go Canada!!
Bob Fosse
Did you read the headline? Your ‘facts’ are as shoddy as ever.
Still ‘only care about America’. I see.
bass4funk
I get it, his overdue departure is shocking to the left; nothing you can do about it.
Yes, but I wish them all the best of luck.
deanzaZZR
Crazy to think but Trump may soon be the most popular G7 leader. Yet they continue to lecture the world.
Bob Fosse
No. You don’t ’get it’. You imagine it.
MilesTeg
Was there an election? No. Do polls have margins of error? Yes they do. So they're not factual and their accuracy can be questioned. Further, the results of one poll can completely contradict another. It's called sample size, location, etc. Your statement about taking what they get and be quiet is meaningless rambling. The only thing that matters is that the Liberal party is still in power with the same policies regardless if Trudeau retires. But go ahead and think that the policies have changed when they haven't. LOL!
stickman1760
Well, at least he won’t have to tolerate the insufferable boor Donald Trump. There’s that.
Zaphod
High time after all the damage he has done.

This was seen coming when Freeland bolted and started preparing her Ukrainian Canadian backed coalition to challenge him.
Yeah if the NDP decide to not let the government fall then expect Freeland (granddaughter of a Nazi collaborator that lied to get into Canada) and her group backed by people that view mass murderers as heroes to try and get the PM position.
If the NDP think they can hold their own right now against the liberals and conservatives then elections will be soon instead of in the fall.
In all cases right now Canada has a choice between bad, very bad and worse than bad.
All 3 parties and all 3 leaders/wannabe leaders are not going to be good for Canada in one way or another because they are all completely subordinate to the extreme fringes of their respective party.
bass4funk
They have a bright future ahead

The facts are Canadians are fed up with long waits for healthcare, no family doctors, increasing regulations, catering to special interest groups, increase in immigration by those being exempt from the rules (meaning people waiting to join their families wait while certain " special people" jump the line) and then there is even less available housing and again over regulation makes it more difficult to built housing
He can't even get the public Sector workers to follow the laws and rules and get them back to the offices where they need to be in order to process "sensitive" information like citizenship, passports, social insurance, etc..
Why is this refusal to return to the office a problem?
Well if you need a passport don't believe the 20 days claim, CBC investigation should it is a minimum twice that and the reason is personal information cannot be handled outside the office so if no one goes in or are only there 3 days a week, well delays.
This is the failure of the " be nice " policies of the Liberals under Trudeau backed by the give everyone what they want if the NDP.
bass4funk
I disagree
Yes, I think. I have the absolute right to feel happy about this revelation. I never said anything bad or antagonistic. I think Canada will be for the better.
TaiwanIsNotChina
I would say the Putinists are the ones that view mass murderers as heroes.

Unlike you I don't care about Ukraine or Russia. You see I am not either one.
I care about my country the one where my family lives and where my father died because he waited a year and a half for a test only for it to be done too late to treat him earlier.
And my brother not getting the tests and follow up he needed for a year only to end up in ICU for no reason had they done the tests on time.
But apparently Canada doesn't have the money to get people timely medical services but all the money in the world to give away to other countries to please certain special interest groups.
Now when your father dies due to the failure of the government to properly support its healthcare system you can call me whatever you want!
People in other countries are not my concern, my family in Canada is!
Quo Primum
Yes, it's probably a relief to him because he knows that Trump will outperform him and out-negotiate him at every turn and in every dealing between the two countries.
Trudeau's been a disaster for Canada and his departure is long overdue. He should have quit at least months ago.
kurisupisu
Taiwan really tries hard to push his agenda on a comment section related to Canada!
Canada is not Russia Taiwan.
Canada will be far better off without Trudeau according to my Canadian contacts…
