In a recent interview with Radio-Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed that he often considers leaving his demanding role but intends to stay on through the next election, slated for October 2025. Trudeau’s comments come amidst mounting questions about his political future and declining popularity among Canadians.
Despite facing criticism and facing challenges such as housing affordability and the cost of living, Trudeau expressed a commitment to continue serving, citing personal sacrifices and the importance of the political fight. Trudeau, who has been in office since 2015, acknowledged the difficulties of his position, including moments of boredom and personal challenges such as his recent separation from his wife.
Trudeau’s government, which began with a strong majority victory, has seen diminishing support in subsequent elections, currently relying on a “supply and confidence” agreement with the left-leaning New Democrats to govern effectively. Despite facing opposition to key initiatives like the federal carbon tax, Trudeau remains resolute in his determination to persevere, emphasizing his dedication to public service and the forthcoming critical decision Canadians will make in the next election.
