Tongue out, chair in hand: Justin Trudeau’s ‘comical’ exit from Canadian Parliament

The humorous scene quickly gained traction across social media platforms, sparking widespread attention.

In his farewell speech at the Liberal Leadership Convention, Trudeau reflected on his decade in power, highlighting his party’s achievements. “I am damn proud of what we’ve done over these past 10 years for the middle class and the people working hard to join it,” he declared, urging his supporters to continue fighting for Canada.

Trudeau’s resignation on January 6 came amid mounting criticism over his government’s handling of the housing crisis and the rising cost of living. His successor, Mark Carney, was elected on Sunday as the new leader of the Liberal Party and is now set to lead Canada into the next federal election.

As Canada prepares to navigate its growing trade tensions with US President Donald Trump, Carney struck a unifying tone in his first message as Prime Minister-designate. “Thank you. Now let’s build a stronger Canada, together,” he wrote on X, adding, “We’re strongest when we are united.”
