  • Justin Trudeau, who said on Monday he would resign as Liberal prime minister once the party names a new leader, led Canada for more than nine years before former allies turned against him.

The article from Reuters discusses the political trajectory of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, highlighting how his once-celebrated "star power" has significantly diminished over time. Initially, Trudeau was known for his charisma and progressive policies, which helped him secure a majority government in 2015. However, his leadership has faced numerous challenges including managing the response to the global health crisis, dealing with former U.S. President Donald Trump, and navigating through various domestic issues like housing affordability, climate change, and economic recovery. Public opinion has shifted, with recent polls indicating a decline in his approval ratings, reflecting voter fatigue and dissatisfaction with his handling of these issues. Despite these setbacks, Trudeau has shown resilience by adapting his strategies, such as focusing on environmental policies and attempting to reconnect with voters through grassroots efforts. The article suggests that while Trudeau's political future remains uncertain, his ability to adapt and his enduring presence in Canadian politics could still play a significant role in upcoming elections.
