Firstly, what challenges has Justin Trudeau been facing lately and how did he get to the
00:05
position of announcing his resignation today?
00:09
It's a layered cake.
00:12
Much of it is aftermath of COVID.
00:14
The government of Canada actually managed COVID fairly well, but it did involve controversial
00:20
choices that restricted liberties.
00:22
We had an insurrectionist episode that dramatized the divisions.
00:29
The party suffers from the fact that there's now a clear, plausible alternative, and the
00:36
choice of Pierre Poglieva as leader of the Conservative Party distilled some of that.
00:40
That's now two years ago.
00:42
And then this year has been just kind of shabby rather than traumatic, mismanagement at the
00:49
margins.
00:50
And then with Trump's election, of course, we're now in the firing line and we don't
00:55
actually have a credible government to deal with the president-elect.
01:00
And then finally, as Chrystia Freeland's statement that you had in your video clip dramatized,
01:06
there are divisions inside the party, and finally she has crystallized those and basically
01:12
blown the matter wide open.
