After nine years in office, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation, marking the end of a significant political era in Canada. In his resignation statement, Trudeau cited party infighting as a primary reason for his departure, signaling internal struggles within his leadership.
Contributing to Trudeau's declining popularity, Einar Tangen, a senior fellow at the Taihe Institute, highlighted Canada's ongoing housing crisis and controversial immigration policies as critical factors influencing public sentiment. The housing market in major Canadian cities has seen unprecedented growth, leading to affordability issues that affect millions of residents. Additionally, Trudeau's immigration policies have sparked debates, with some praising the diversity initiatives while others express concerns over integration and resource allocation.
Trudeau's resignation opens the door for new leadership to address these pressing issues. As Canada navigates its housing and immigration challenges, the focus now shifts to finding solutions that will stabilize the economy and meet the needs of its diverse population.
