Justin Trudeau’s time as Prime Minister has finally come to an end, closing a chapter filled with broken promises and growing frustration. From the SNC-Lavalin scandal to his failure on electoral reform, his leadership often felt more focused on image than real change. Meanwhile, everyday Canadians struggled with skyrocketing housing costs and inflation, feeling left behind by his economic policies.
His approach to the economy—heavy on spending, light on results—only made things worse. High taxes and deficits put pressure on businesses and families, while Canada’s global standing slipped. Many hoped for bold leadership, but instead, they got vague promises and mounting debt.
Perhaps most disappointing was his weak response to rising antisemitism. As hate crimes and protests escalated, his words lacked urgency, leaving many feeling unheard and unprotected. In the end, Trudeau’s leadership fizzled out, not with a bold legacy, but with a country more divided and disillusioned than when he began.
