Analysis: The end of a long-lived liberal star
Monday marked the culmination of a prolonged political twilight for Justin Trudeau, who charmed Canada a decade ago with promises of change, hope and "sunny politics," write Ashifa Kassam and Leyland Cecco for The Guardian.
"Ultimately, Trudeau's boyish charisma was not enough to reassure Canadians facing sharply rising house prices, huge food inflation and the possibility of huge tariffs from their main trading partner, the United States."
Along with the United States' Barack Obama and France's Emmanuel Macron, Trudeau has been one of the West's longest-lived liberal figureheads, writes Diana Magnay for Sky News.
Ultimately, however, the economic aftermath of the pandemic, increased migration and higher living costs were the nail in the coffin, she continues.
"In that respect, Canada is not unique. But the conservative opposition and the public at large clearly want change, and Trudeau has responded.”
Now a liberal profile from another time is disappearing, when campaigns about climate work, generous immigration policies and the legalization of marijuana could bring political success, writes DN's Karin Eriksson.
“Trump's trade war has claimed its first victim.”

Trump: Canada should now be merged with the USA
US President-elect Donald Trump has commented on Justin Trudeau's resignation announcement. In a post on Truth Social, he suggests that the Canadian Prime Minister's resignation is due to the trade deficit with the USA, and once again suggests that the country should become the 51st state of the USA.
“If Canada were merged with the USA, there would be no tariffs, taxes would drop sharply, and they would be COMPLETELY SAFE from the Russian and Chinese ships that constantly surround them.”
Trump also claims that many Canadians want this to happen. According to a December poll, 13 percent want Canada to become a US state, according to Newsweek.
