Justin Trudeau bids farewell as Liberal leader, Mark Carney elected successor

At the Liberal Party leadership convention, Justin Trudeau delivered an emotional farewell speech as he prepares to step down after over a decade as prime minister. His daughter, Ella-Grace Trudeau, introduced him, sharing her pride in his service while expressing a desire to have more family time. Trudeau reflected on his government's achievements and emphasized the importance of protecting democracy and freedom in Canada, amid challenges posed by the United States. He also acknowledged the resilience of Canadians during crises and urged party members to continue striving for a strong future. Mark Carney was elected as the new leader of the Liberal Party, receiving over 85% of the vote, marking a significant leadership change. Trudeau's departure comes after a period of internal dissent within the party and reflects a broader transition as Canada faces new political challenges.
