Key highlights include his initial election victory with a promise of change, the SNC-Lavalin affair in 2019 which involved allegations of political interference, his handling of the 2020-2021 global health crisis, and the controversial invocation of the Emergencies Act in 2022 to address the Freedom Convoy protests.
