Justin Trudeau Resigns As Pierre Poilievre Looks To Become Canadian PM
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has officially announced his resignation, opening the door for Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader known for his pro-crypto views, to potentially assume leadership.
A Series Of Challenges
The resignation comes amid growing political pressures and internal disputes, with recent polling showing the Liberal Party heading toward a significant loss in the next general election, set to occur before October 20th.
This resignation follows a series of challenges, including rising living costs and an ongoing housing crisis, which have led to increasing discontent among voters. The move was accelerated following a meeting with 50 Liberal members representing Ontario, many of whom voiced concerns about Trudeau and his leadership.
Mending Fences
Tensions reached a high point in 2016 when Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian goods, and efforts to resolve the issues failed to calm the situation. With Trudeau stepping down, the focus turns to Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party, who many believe would form a more mutually beneficial partnership with Trump and the United States.
Poilievre has championed the potential of blockchain technology and digital currencies. Moreover, Trudeau faced plenty of controversy through his handling of the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests, which saw the invocation of the Emergencies Act and the freezing of bank accounts. This drew sharp criticism, particularly by the crypto community.
