In his final speech as Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau warned the nation about the “existential threat” it faces from the United States. Speaking at the Liberal leadership race event, Trudeau reflected on his nearly decade-long tenure in office, describing it as the “honour of my life.” Despite facing numerous crises during his time as leader, Trudeau expressed pride in how Canadians have consistently come together and emerged stronger each time.
Highlighting the potential danger posed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s desire for Canada to become the 51st state, Trudeau emphasized the need for Canada to be diplomatic but ready to fight when necessary. Using the slogan “elbows up,” Trudeau conveyed a message of determination and strength, urging Canadians to be prepared to defend their country’s sovereignty.
As Trudeau prepares to step down from his role as Prime Minister, his words serve as a call to action for Canadians to remain vigilant and united in the face of external threats. Despite the challenges ahead, Trudeau’s message resonates with the crowd, leading to chants and cheers of “elbows up!” from the audience. The future of Canada may be uncertain, but Trudeau’s parting message serves as a rallying cry for unity and resilience in the face of adversity.
