In a surprising announcement, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed his “one regret” during his time in office – not being able to implement electoral reform. Trudeau expressed his desire to introduce proportional representation, specifically ranked choice voting, which would allow voters to select second or third choices on the same ballot. Despite his eagerness to make this change, Trudeau acknowledged that without the support of other parties, it would not have been feasible to move forward with the reform.
Trudeau also touched on the resignation of Chrystia Freeland, stating that he had hoped she would continue serving as deputy prime minister. He emphasized the importance of Freeland’s role in handling crucial issues facing the government and the country as a whole. The departure of Freeland, who was seen as a key figure in the administration, adds another layer of complexity to the political landscape as Trudeau prepares to step down from his position.
As Trudeau prepares to leave his role as prime minister, his reflection on his time in office offers insights into the challenges and aspirations he faced during his tenure. With electoral reform remaining a lingering concern for Trudeau, his departure raises questions about the future direction of Canadian politics and the potential for change on the horizon.
