I know we all take negative criticism differently, but I bet resigning from politics has got to feel great. To wake up the next morning and feel little to no pressure and just be a dad.
I sat in his chair once, when visiting the house of commons. Though i dont think i was supposed to. The nameplate next to his chair was taken off to prevent people from doing that haha. The fabric on the chair is really mesmerising (Looked much better in person than in pictures), and the build quality on the chairs is fantastic. They’re suprisingly heavy.
I have to say this must really suck for anybody that built their entire campaign on blaming this man for everything on the gamble that he would never willingly resign.
What impresses me is that he’s still young enough that he could make a return to politics years from now. Few prime ministers have had it as rough as him, so using his added age and wisdom, he could potentially use his experience to mop the floor with his opposition.
So there was plenty I didn’t like the liberal government in general for… but I never really understood the hate Trudeau got as an individual… he came, he saw, he went. And while he was there, he did plenty of the things he was voted in to do, maybe not everything people wanted… but a lot more than plenty of governments.
You know what’s funny as well? Trump tried to insult Trudeau by calling him Governor, well, Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, so he can use that on Trump by saying thanks for the title, but now I’m upgrading it to Prime Minister 😅 so technically Carney was a Governor, just not of a state or country. He can’t insult him with that, cause he was referred as such before.
Why is every political ad in Canada an attack ad? Every single one in my life, radio or tv, has been “Don’t vote for this jerk, they did x y and z. Do you want THAT kind of bozo running things?”
And…thats the whole ad. Not “this is what we want to accomplish. We are going to do x y z to achieve that”.
Like, really, what the hell? Why is this even allowed? You just spend 30 seconds of ad time bitching about someone instead of telling me what youre about or what youre planning to contribute. Why the hell would I vote for any of you?
As a rural Canadian, I was no fan of him, but I truly respected him. It’s no easy job, and the last few months of his leadership have shown what he truly was capable of as a leader, and he is going out with such a fun picture.

Is the ‘taking the chair’ a genuine tradition for the outgoing prime minister or was he just being a rascal?

He looks happier now

His face and vibe… Must be such a relief to finally leave office after years of stress
JD Vance did something similar, only it was a couch he carried from the White House to his trailer.

Melania wept.
back to being the MP from papineau, is he running in that riding again? or is he done with parliment when the next election comes?
“Free at last!”
Oof, he’s *fine*!

Ran into him 2 minutes before this was taken in West Block. He was in a great mood.
I’m gonna miss him. Carney better not fuck this up.
Wait … a head of government ~~state~~ with a sense of humour? Ain’t no way.
edit: correction pointed out by others
I’m going to miss him, he got us legal weed as well as dental for kids

Fuck Trudeau crowd in absolute SHAMBLES. Wonder if they over refunds on the window stickers?
I sometimes think about that witchy (ETA: *bitchy*) woman in BC who was so rude to him.
I hope he’s feeling better about things now.
Whether you love him or hate him, some of the treatment he got during his term was uncalled for.
So, genuinely asking:

That’s a guy going on vacation. It’s gotta be a big bounce to his mental health that he never has to talk to Trump again.
