Trudeau’s successor has a massive challenge ahead—not only do they need to rebuild trust in the Liberal Party, but they also have to stand up to U.S. protectionism without compromising Canadian jobs and values. Hopefully, the new leader prioritizes strong climate policies and workers’ rights while pushing back against corporate greed on both sides of the border. This is a crucial moment for Canada to reaffirm its commitment to progressive policies, even in the face of economic pressure.
