Justin Trudeau (born 25 December 1971) is a Canadian politician serving as the 23rd and current Prime Minister of Canada since 2015 and Leader of the Liberal Party since 2013.[1][2] Trudeau is the second-youngest Canadian Prime Minister, after Joe Clark; he is also the first to be related to a previous holder of the post, as the eldest son of Pierre Trudeau.[3][4]

Anaemic Victory
According to Bella Caledonia:
On 21 October 2019, Canadians delivered a fractured and ambiguous election result to Justin Trudeau, who watched his parliamentary majority evaporate—but will nonetheless return to power at the head of a minority government.
Conservative leader Andrew Scheer secured the single largest number of votes—courtesy of landslide victories in Alberta and Saskatchewan—but not enough seats to dislodge Trudeau.
But Trudeau didn’t just lose his majority, he lost over a million individual votes—and that was in the face of a lacklustre challenge from the Conservatives and some broadly favourable economic headwinds. In fact—ironically—one reason Trudeau managed to survive at all is that, after assuming office in 2015, he ditched a pledge to overhaul Canada’s grossly disproportionate first-past-the-post electoral system.
You can actually chart the collapse of Trudeau’s popularity, in almost perfect linear fashion, over the course of his premiership. In January 2016, the Liberal leader had a net approval rating of roughly 30 per cent; by January 2019, he had a net disapproval rating of roughly 20 per cent. The more Canadian voters saw of Trudeau, and the more they realised how empty his progressive posturing was, the more they grew to dislike him.
As a result, Trudeau returns to office massively weakened both at home and abroad, a liability to his party rather than an asset, and faced with the reality of having to horse-trade his way through the next few years in parliament.[5]
Russophobe
In January 2019, RT put Trudeau as #10 on their 2018 list of Russophobes, commenting "he's jumped on the bandwagon and made the usual allegations of meddling and election interference against Russia, saying it faces 'real consequences', but then again, who hasn't this year? The thing is though, Trudeau literally pretends to like everyone and everything, so from him, that kind of criticism really hurts."[6]

WEF/Global Shapers | “Today, I had the privilege of discussing with progressive, energetic, and engaged community leaders and activists from around the world on how they influence the narrative on international diversity. By holding a meaningful dialogue, we are showing the world that these young people understand, as Canada does, that pluralism is the key to building resilient, confident nations around the world.” | January 2016 |

Mélanie Joly | “We’re able to see how much we’re isolating the Russian regime right now — because we need to do so economically, politically and diplomatically — and what are the impacts also on society, and how much we’re seeing potential regime change in Russia..The goal is definitely to do that, is to weaken Russia’s ability to launch very difficult attacks against Ukraine. We want also to make sure that Putin and his enablers are held to account.” | Mélanie Joly | 10 March 2023 |
WEF/Young Global Leaders/2016 | “Yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more, are actually Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum...It's [also] true in Argentina and in France now with the President a Young Global Leader.” | Klaus Schwab | 2017 |
