Editor's Take:
Justin Trudeau led Canada as prime minister between 2015 and 2025. He is the son of Pierre Trudeau, one of Canada's best-known prime ministers. Before politics he worked as a teacher in Vancouver. In 2015 he led the Liberals from third place to a majority with a message of "sunny ways". His government legalised cannabis, introduced a carbon price and welcomed many refugees. Scandals, rising living costs and fading popularity weakened him in later years. He resigned as party leader and prime minister in 2025.
