Canada's resigning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the seat he occupied in the House of Commons for 9 years with him as he left Parliament. He also posed for the press by sticking out his tongue. Everyone who watched the footage commented on his "love for the seat."
Justin Trudeau, who has served as Prime Minister of Canada since 2015, resigned from his position after 9 years. Trudeau, who was defeated in a conflict with U.S. President Donald Trump, lost public support while battling internal party pressures and Trump's threats of a 25% tariff.
CARNEY WON THE LEADERSHIP RACE
Following Trudeau's resignation, the leadership race of the Liberal Party was won by former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney.
"AMERICA IS NOT CANADA"
In the election held on March 9, 2025, Carney was elected party leader and new prime minister by receiving 85.9% of the votes. In his first speech, he challenged Trump, saying, "America is not Canada. Canada will never be a part of the U.S."
HE TOOK HIS SEAT WITH HIM
After his term in government ended, Trudeau exhibited a notable behavior while leaving the parliament after the election. He took his seat from the House of Commons, where he had served for 9 years, with him.
While seen carrying the chair outside the Parliament building, Trudeau posed for the press by sticking out his tongue. Many people who watched the footage and shared it on social media commented, "Obsession with the chair."
