As Justin Trudeau’s era as Canada’s prime minister comes to an end, his hometown of Montreal reflects on his legacy after a decade in power. With the liberal party set to choose its new leader this week and a federal election looming, the impact of Trudeau’s recent response to Trump’s tariffs is being closely examined.
Trudeau has faced criticism for his handling of international trade relations, with some questioning his ability to stand up to world leaders like Trump. As Montrealers look back on his time in office, they are divided on his legacy. Some praise his progressive policies on issues such as climate change and gender equality, while others point to broken promises and controversies surrounding ethics and transparency.
The upcoming leadership change marks a turning point for Canada, and Trudeau’s legacy will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion in the months to come. Montreal, like the rest of the country, is eager to see how the new leader will navigate the challenges ahead and build on the foundation laid by Trudeau. As the political landscape shifts, Canadians are left to ponder the impact of Trudeau’s time in office and the direction of the country moving forward.

Thank you Trudeau for saving the middle class during the pandemic, protecting pensions of seniors, implementing dental care and pharmacare for Canadians and most importantly standing up for Canada in the tariff war with the US.
Trudeau is the best person to handle tariff war. He should not resign at this point in time.
Liberal era needs to be over
Trump’s depictions of Trudeau were downright sleazy. But there might be some solace in this list of labels applied to the American President by his own people: Traitor Trump, Pathological Liar Trump, Narcissistic Trump, Benedict Donald, Cheatin’ Donald, Fake Donald, Don the Con, Dirty Don, Felon Don, Agent Orange, Mrs Putin, Impotus.
Alas, that’s but a few. And who knows? Maybe, one day, the new name for our outgoing Prime Minister will be UN Secretary General Justin Trudeau.
HA. No, this will not change his legacy. It’s been a DISASTER. Ask a millennial.
Legacy of ruining this once great country that is
How stupid are you people? He is still not doing anything. Its the Premieres doing all the hard work, not drama queen. Trudeau sucks people. He is the worst PM, EVER!
Worst PM in Canada
One’s the greatest crimes in Canada is JTD
I would love to see millions of Canadians read the sheer hatred and spite in these posts before they vote in the next federal election.
Hatred is not the basis of government.
Poilievre is not fit to serve because he foments it.
He did a lot of good for Canada. I’m very proud of him
What a mess of a decade
The carbon rebate is an excellent program no matter how much Poilievre and Oil companies smear it.
We can all be grateful that Poilievre is not PM.
Trump is one of the worst prime ministers ever.
The worst pm ever, will not be missed!
Zero news on carney
Election interference on full display
He’s not done yet I think. He’s still a good PM especially now
Don’t forget Trudeau and the Liberals prorogued government, effectively stopping our federal government during this time of US sanctions. Don’t forget! Liberals are in it for themselves! SNC Lavalin, the app fiasco, don’t forget!
He won't be remembered as the best nor the worst, he seemed like he wanted to do well and had good intentions but maybe lacked the tools and he never struck me as having the intellect though he had some charm. I respect the way he is going out and he has done well in the last few weeks, certainly better than Polievre who is playing catch up
Go Canada 🇨🇦
How to screw a country up, get out of Canada and stay out.
He cries and bends the knee he’s a joke.
Oh diesel and gas prices came down 15 cents for a few hours in greater vancouver from the ridiculous $8.00 a gallon to $7.40 a gallon before you left for the first time in years wow what a great prime minister! Thanks dude for the tremendous work to achieve such a great savings for the public
Everyone should wish him a happy International Women’s Day
He has done such a great job through these last few weeks. Thank you Justin.
You all will miss him
Mark Carney – Canada’s next Prime Minister! A Canadian Economist Expert.
Love that Mark is not a politician. Let’s be honest, it is super refreshing at this point!
In our uncertain times we Canadians currently face together, as it relates to Canada’s Economy, who better than Mark Carney, to be our next Leader of the best Country in the World, than Mark, who is an Economic Scholar! Highly intelligent man!
Earned degrees – bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and a Doctoral Degree, in Economic. Graduate of both Harvard and Oxford, Universities!
Love Mark’s sense of humor and confidence! Mark gets my vote!
Pierre Poilievre is a goofball and a big mouth, that's it, that's all he has, just like King Trump. They are one in the same.
we need smart leaders, not more big mouths.
Drama queen in a soap opera wrapped up in a horror movie.
Why is he not in prison ?
Fool. He should have ALWAYS treated his nation this way. Too many scandals. Wasteful spending. Carbon tax was a brutal blow to citizens and businesses.
The crime minister Justa Traitor has done more harm to this once great country than anyone else in history!
🇨🇦 Trudeau
Pot head Canada. Cannabis-Induced Psychotic Disorders. The Legacy. Don't invest here.
Don't let the door hit you on the way JT
