CTV National News | Monday, Jan. 6, 2025: Justin Trudeau calls it quits, resigns as Liberal leader

[@mikepurdue7472]

And as expected, from the narcissist, instead of owning up to his failures as a leader and offering Canadians the apology they deserve, he shamelessly ducks responsibility, pointing fingers at everyone but himself. Yet somehow, he still has the gall to attack Pierre Poilievre’s vision as "not right for Canada"-all while parading himself as the teary-eyed victim. The narcissism? Unchecked. The arrogance? Through the roof. This isn’t leadership-it’s a masterclass in self-absorbed denial.
