In Trudeau’s previous posts on Instagram and X from four days ago — when Carney took over — he thanked Canadians.
“Thank you, Canada. Merci,” an Instagram post from March 14 says.
On X, he posted a similar message the same day. It said: “Thank you, Canada — for trusting in me, for challenging me, and for granting me the privilege to serve the best country, and the best people, on earth.”
Trudeau also changed his social media bios, which now read: “Father, former Prime Minister of Canada.”
Carney was elected as the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada on March 9. He was sworn in as prime minster on March 14.
