OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a farewell message to Canadians today as he marks his last full day in office.

In a video posted to X, Trudeau says he’s proud to have served a country full of people who stand up for what’s right, rise to every occasion and “always have each others’ backs when it matters most.”

Liberal Leader Mark Carney will be sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister at a ceremony at Rideau Hall Friday after Trudeau’s formal resignation.
