    My theory is that he just doesn’t want to have to work with Trump anymore.

    I don’t think Trudeau resigning will improve the Liberals’ chances in the next election, so this decision seems mostly personal.

        Have been. His own party has been calling for his resignation for months, if not longer. Doing so early enough might’ve given Canada more time to warm up to the new Liberal leader, but resigning now won’t help his party win.

        The difference now is that he has to work with Trump, lol

          He was Prime Minister the last time Trump was around.

          I guess it’s funny like “yeah I’d quit my job too if a shit bag like that started working at the desk beside me.” But in reality this has been brewing for months, like you said. And he has known (and already had to deal with Trump, again) since the election.

            He knows his job is toast by the next election, so he’s just quitting to have a couple fewer months working with Trump, haha

            The rumours did seem to be getting “stronger” around the time of the election, lol
