As RedState reported earlier, with his popularity cratering and after a tumultuous last few months and waves of calls for him to resign, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has done just that, indicating he will step aside after the country’s Liberal MPs choose his interim replacement ahead of the fall elections.
“I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process,” Trudeau, who has been in office for ten years, said Monday in an announcement from the steps of Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, with only the background of the home – and not other party leaders – seen behind him.
Though many Canadians are no doubt celebrating the news of Trudeau’s resignation, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre reminded them in a video statement reacting to the Prime Minister’s announcement that “nothing has changed”:
“Nothing has changed. Every Liberal MP and Leadership contender supported EVERYTHING Trudeau did for 9 years, and now they want to trick voters by swapping in another Liberal face to keep ripping off Canadians for another 4 years, just like Justin.
The only way to fix what Liberals broke is a carbon tax election to elect common sense Conservatives who will bring home Canada’s promise.”
