Justin Trudeau is a Canadian politician who served as the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada from 2015 to 2025[2][5]. Born on December 25, 1971, in Ottawa, he is the eldest son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau, making him the second child in Canadian history to be born while a parent was serving as prime minister[1][2][7]. Trudeau grew up in the public eye and was educated at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, McGill University, and the University of British Columbia, where he later taught before entering politics[1][6]. Trudeau’s political career began in earnest when he was elected as a Member of Parliament for the Montreal riding of Papineau in 2008[1][6]. He became leader of the Liberal Party in 2013, leading the party to a historic majority government victory in 2015—the party’s best result in decades—after campaigning on progressive policies such as legalizing marijuana, addressing climate change, and promoting gender and ethnic diversity[1][3][4]. Notably, he appointed Canada’s first gender-balanced cabinet, underscoring his commitment to feminist principles[3][4]. His government also focused on economic growth, middle-class job creation, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples[3]. During his tenure, Trudeau faced significant challenges and controversies, including the SNC-Lavalin affair, the COVID-19 pandemic, the WE Charity scandal, and the “Freedom Convoy” protests[5]. Despite these, he was re-elected in 2019 and 2021, though both times leading minority governments[1][5]. Internationally, he was known for his support of multilateralism, climate action, and, more recently, Canada’s strong backing of Ukraine during its conflict with Russia[1][3]. Trudeau announced his resignation as prime minister in January 2025 and stepped down in March 2025 after the election of his successor, Mark Carney, as Liberal Party leader[2]. His resignation marked the end of nearly a decade in office, during which he significantly shaped Canada’s domestic and international profile. As of October 2025, Trudeau remains a prominent figure in Canadian public life, though he is no longer serving as prime minister[2].
