Radical leftist Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau confirmed on Wednesday that he would not be running for a seat in Parliament during the election cycle, effectively ending his career in public office in the near term.
Trudeau announced on January 6 that he would resign as prime minister of the country in the coming months, freezing Parliament through a procedural process known as “prorogation,” which does not take seats away from sitting members but prevents Parliament from convening and lawmaking. Trudeau received approval to prorogue Parliament until late March to allow his Liberal Party to find a replacement for him.
A poll published shortly after Trudeau’s resignation announcement by the firm Ipsos found more than 80 percent of Canadians supported Trudeau ending his prime ministership and only 20 percent of respondents supporting the Liberal Party in the upcoming election, compared to 46 percent supporting the main opposition party, the Conservatives. As Trudeau personally is at the heart of much of the opposition to his party, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has made Trudeau a cornerstone of his campaign, insisting that, no matter who assumes the leadership of the Liberals, his rival in the election will be identical to Trudeau policy-wise.
In a sign that the Liberal Party is hanging its hopes on the electorate forgetting its distaste for Trudeau, the prime minister confirmed on Wednesday he would not stick around in Parliament as a lawmaker after vacating the top job, leaving his seat in Papineau, Quebec, open.
