TRUDEAU ends the mandate as Prime Minister of Canada in its best “against Trump's threats | Donald Trump News

Montreal, Canada – It happened in early January. But for many Canadians, Justin Trudeau's message The fact that he plans to resign, since the Prime Minister of Canada is already feeling like a lifetime.

This is because during the weeks thereafter, the country was encouraged by a series of unprecedented shifts coming to the south of the border.

Canada faces the prospect of a prolonged trade war with the United States, and US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex the country, nourishing widespread anger and insecurity.

Now, since Trudeau is definitely retiring on Friday – clearing the road to a new Liberal Party Mark Carney To take over as a Prime Minister – experts say that the work of the output leader of recent cataclysm will be remembered positively.

“He did a huge job of going out,” says Charles-Ethien Bodi, a professor of political science at the University of Ottawa.

“He works more more than ever to deal with Trump's tariffs, communicate to Canadians, make strong speeches … (s) to organize the answer,” Bodi told Al Jazeera.

“And this will be remembered in his inheritance as something great. Shows great character. “

Pressure to retreat down

Trudeo's decision to resign came after that months of pressure from his own Liberal Party and a growing public anger regarding the protocol of his government.

After nearly a decade of power, the Prime Minister took over the mainstream of the Canadians' dissatisfaction with the accessibility and the deepening housing crisis, and the number of polls of his party was at historically low levels.

Liberal MPs called on him to withdraw to give them a bigger chance in the 2025 Federal elections, but Trudeau largely rejected these calls, reference He plans to see the party through the next vote.

Trump's tariff threats increase the pressureHowever, as well as the reconciliation of the shock of the longtime deputy of Trudeau, former Finance Minister Cristia Freeland, in mid -December.

On January 6, Trudeau said he would withdraw after the liberals choose their next leader.

“This country deserves a real choice of next elections and it became clear to me that if I have to fight Internal battlesI cannot be the best version of these elections, “he said in his speech about Ottawa.

Stewart Pest, a professor of political science at the University of British Colombia, said the point at that time was that Trudeau “exceeded his welcome.”

“As with any politician, Trudeau had acquired a lot of luggage over time, and people had been arranged to blame him for a number of things,” Pest said, adding that there was also the feeling that the government had lost contact with the Canadians.

“Trudeau was dressed leader.”

Intense

But that changed after he announced his plan to resign, Pest told Al Jazeera.

Suddenly without having to oppose the attacks of Conservative opposition Or withstands pressure from his own party, the prime minister became the face of the “polite but uncompromising resistance” of Canada to Trump, Perster explained.

“It seems that Trudeau has found a new life and a new voice to speak on behalf of the Canadians … and in defense of the Canadians, in a very uncompromising language, but a language that is still clear Canadian,” he said.

“He (he was able to defend what really matters, not to constantly worry about the close political calculus of the day.”

Indeed, like Trump unprecedented attacks Against Canada caused concern, Trudeau stressed the need for Canadians to remain united.

In speech after speech, he promised support for workers and businesses that will bear the weight of US tariffs and promised strong counteraction measures, including billions of dollars in retaliatory leaks on US goods.

He also unequivocally rejected Trump's impetus to do Canada in the 51st American StateS

“I am sure many of you are alarmed,” Trudo told the Canadians on February 1, just days before the 25 % US tariffs come into force. “But I want you to know that we are all together in this.”

Alert at the University of Ottawa said speech is one of many who positioning Trudeau as a “soothing figure” at a main moment for Canada. “The strong ending is important and he knew it,” the professor said.

“He has some power of character that not everyone has.”

Trudeau “in the best of yourself”

Meanwhile, Trudeau's resignation – combined with Trump threats and liberal leadership – helped to renew enthusiasm in his party.

Liberals have bounce back In the ballot box and now they are expected to fight against the conservatives of the next election which can happen The next month.

Shachi Kurl, President of the Angus Reed Institute, a non -profit group for electoral and research, said the crisis in Canada and the United States eventually played on the strengths of Trudeau.

It attracted parallels to the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, when the Prime Minister managed to convey a calming message to the Canadians in frightening and uncertain weather.

“What we have seen from Trudeau in the last two months has been one of it at the best of it,” Kurl told Al Jazeera, adding that leaving the prime minister was regarded as someone who reacted well in a crisis. “This has to deal with the way he communicates for the Canadians again.”

The polls show that the greater part of the people in Canada also welcomed the response of its government to the Trump administration.

An Angus Reed's poll Since the beginning of March, for example, it has shown that 66 percent of people have supported a 25 % decisive blanket on American goods.

And while Trudeau continues to have his offenders – and their nine years in the government produce a mixed heritage as a whole – experts have said that his last weeks as Prime Minister will be considered favorably.

“At the moment of the updated national pride and patriotism and unity,” Kurl said, “He was seen to meet the moment.”
