Canada's conservative movement gains traction as Trudeau resigns and activists receive training
Canada's conservative movement is gaining momentum as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation amid declining approval ratings and pressure from critics. Activists are being trained by U.S. strategist Matt Shupe to strengthen their campaigns. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's party is currently favored in upcoming elections, with significant support compared to Trudeau's Liberals. Poilievre aims to address issues like immigration and inflation, positioning himself similarly to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Trudeau's resignation follows months of frustration over rising costs and inflation. He stated that internal party conflicts hinder his ability to lead effectively into the next election, prompting the need for a new leader.
