You are wrong too and you can't make a convincing case. You can only (and have only) posted suppositions and innuendo and imaginings. The timeline does not add up to the conclusion you state. Further, blackmail requires dirt and there is not a shred of evidence of dirt you can point to. (You might look for it but I do not expect you to make a post about his dirt or any evidence there might be dirt.) Trudeau did have a minor controversy about an island vacation early in his term but there was no there there. That had bad optics, not this.

2023 and 2024: A few Liberal MPs called for Trudeau to resign as Pierre Axe the Tax Poilievre sloganeered his way to popularity while avoiding specifics on his own policies.

November: tRump proposed damaging tariffs (damaging for both countries)

November 29 Trudeau met with tRump.

December 16 Christia Freeland very publicly resigns. This seems to have been the tipping point.

All through this period Trudeau spoke and acted like a man ready to lead his party into the election in 2025. Only in late December did he say he would think about it over the holidays.

Meidas reported he made the decision after meeting with tiny

Well, after, like seven weeks after. lol

No. tRump did NOT cause Trudeau's likely resignation (possibly in less than an hour).
