Justin Trudeau is a Canadian politician who served as the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada from 2015 to 2025 and leader of the Liberal Party from 2013 to 2025. The eldest son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, he became the first child of a previous prime minister to hold the office.
Known for progressive policies on climate change, cannabis legalization, gender equality, and social justice, his tenure included landmark achievements such as the Canada Child Benefit and recreational marijuana legalization, though it also faced controversies, including scandals and economic pressures.
He resigned in January 2025 amid declining popularity, internal party challenges, and external factors such as U.S. trade threats, transitioning to a private life with public appearances, speaking engagements, and a high-profile personal relationship.

Early Life and Education
Justin Trudeau was born on December 25, 1971, in Ottawa during his father’s first term as Prime Minister, and grew up at 24 Sussex Drive, with significant public exposure from birth. His parents separated when he was five (divorced in 1977), with his father gaining primary custody.
Raised bilingual in English and French, he attended Rockcliffe Park Public School (French immersion) and later Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, a Jesuit school his father attended.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in literature from McGill University and a Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia. Before politics, he worked as a high school teacher (math, French, drama), a snowboard instructor, a nightclub bouncer, and an advocate for youth and environmental causes, including serving as chair of Katimavik.
Career
Justin Trudeau entered politics in 2008 as MP for Papineau (Montreal). He rose quickly, becoming Liberal Party leader in 2013. His 2015 campaign emphasized progressive change, leading to a majority government victory. As Prime Minister (2015–2025), he implemented policies such as gender-balanced cabinets, cannabis legalization (2018), expansion of medical assistance in dying, national child care plans, and carbon pricing. He navigated crises, including the 2022 invocation of the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy protests.
His government won the minorities in 2019 and 2021. Facing declining poll numbers, party infighting (including Chrystia Freeland’s 2024 resignation), and U.S. tariff threats, he resigned as Liberal leader and Prime Minister on January 6, 2025, remaining in office until his successor, Mark Carney, took over in March 2025. Post-resignation, he has engaged in speaking, philanthropy, and public life.
