On his final day as prime minister, Justin Trudeau shared a heartfelt message to Canadians, expressing pride in the country and its people. In a social media post captioned “Hey Canada, one last thing,” Trudeau praised Canadians for their resilience and unity. He said, “I’m proud to have served a country full of people who stand up for what’s right, rise to every occasion and always have each other’s backs when it matters most.”
Trudeau went on to express his enduring pride in being Canadian, asking citizens to remain steadfast in the face of challenges. “My only ask is that no matter what the world throws at us, you always be the same,” he said.
Tomorrow, Trudeau will formally transition power to prime minister-designate Mark Carney. The official handover will take place in a private meeting with Governor General Mary Simon, where Trudeau will resign and recommend Carney to form a new government. Carney is set to become Canada’s 24th prime minister in a ceremony scheduled for 11 a.m. EDT on Friday, with live coverage by CTV News.
Trudeau leaves office with his favorability ratings at a 12-month high, according to recent polling.
