It’s been a decade since Justin Trudeau was elected as prime minister of Canada, and he wanted to pay tribute to that time.
The man who stepped down from office earlier this year after years of discontent from Canadians perhaps still doesn’t know how to read a room — and posted on social media about that fateful 2015 day.
“Ten years ago today, Canadians chose a more hopeful path,” he began on posts across his social media accounts including X, Instagram and Facebook.
“I’ll never forget that night in 2015,” he continued. “The energy, the optimism, and the belief that together, we could build a better future.”
Trudeau noted: “A decade later, we’ve lifted hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty, strengthened and grown the middle class, built a $10-a-day child care system, led the fight against climate change, advanced reconciliation, and made Canada more inclusive and fair for everyone.”
He then added how “deeply grateful” he is to “everyone who was part of this journey and believed that better is always possible.”
Naturally, the Internet had a field day with Trudeau’s post, to which he bravely left the comments sections open.

Entrepreneur Mario Zelaya corrected Trudeau’s post, noting that “10 years ago was the beginning of your destructive path.”
He noted that his government “added more debt than all PMs in history,” “ruined our healthcare with uncontrolled immigration,” “violent crimes have skyrocketed,” “taxes are at all-time highs” and “investments and capital are fleeing the country.”
Zelaya added: “You divided our country and our people unlike anyone else in history. No one will ever forgive or forget what you and Jagmeet did. You decimated the livelihoods of Canadians. Shame on you.”
Political commenter Ryan Gerritsen described Trudeau’s post as “next level gaslighting” and “absolutely infuriating to read,” noting the rampant homelessness, out-of-control crime, high unemployment rates and how more children are suffering from food insecurity now more than ever.
“This man caused more division than any other PM. He campaigned on hating a group of Canadians.”
Others noted it was “the beginning of the end” and “the worst decision Canada ever made.”
One person joked: “10 years later he’s dating Katy Perry and his son is a rapper. What a guy.”
After weeks of speculation over last year’s Christmas holidays, Trudeau announced his resignation , though stayed on until a new Liberal leader and de facto prime minister was chosen.
“This country deserves a real choice in the next election,” Trudeau said at the time, “and it has become clear to me that if I’m having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.”
