Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation announcement triggered a wave of reactions, particularly from his critics on social media. Trudeau declared his intention to step down as both party leader and prime minister following internal party pressure and criticism of his economic and immigration policies. He confirmed he would remain in office until the Liberal Party chooses his successor.

Trudeau's decision follows months of declining approval ratings, fueled by public discontent over issues such as the rising cost of living and inflation. His nearly decade-long tenure has faced increasing scrutiny.

Conservatives around the world, who have criticized Trudeau on issues ranging from trade to his handling of trucker protests, expressed their satisfaction with his departure. Former US President Donald Trump, a vocal critic of Trudeau, suggested on Truth Social that Canada should become part of the United States, eliminating tariffs and enhancing security.

Various figures, including actor Rob Schneider and actress Gina Carano, celebrated Trudeau's resignation, with Carano referencing the 2022 Canadian trucker protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Author Carol Roth sarcastically suggested Trudeau might find a new role on a liberal news network.

Some commentators also pointed to a moment before Trudeau's speech where papers on his podium blew away in the wind, interpreting it as symbolic of his time in office.

Social media platforms saw a surge of "good riddance" messages following the announcement.
