For his part, Trudeau – Sunday – underlined in a farewell speech to the party’s supporters that Canada faces an “existential challenge” because of the threats of its neighbor led by Trump.
“Canadians are faced with an existential and economic challenge on the part of their neighbor,” said Trudeau, “in preparation for the announcement of the new leader of the Liberal Party.
And Trudeau announced in January his withdrawal from the post which was held for almost a decade, in a movement he took while he was facing many pressures, starting with the drop in the popularity of the party as the general elections approached.
It is planned that delivery and surrender take place between Trudeau and his successors in a few days with the formation of the new government.
Carney – A former governor of Canada and England Banque – has led his competitors in terms of popular support and funding for his campaign.
Trump launched a trade war by imposing customs duties on imports from Canada, repeating his desire that this country becomes the “51st American state”.
The popularity of the liberals has decreased considerably and the Canadians hold them responsible for several problems, in particular the increase in inflation and the housing crisis.
But after the Liberal Party was 20% at the end of the intention to vote last January, opinion polls were almost linked to the conservatives.
