INDIA-CANADA TIES SHOULD IMPROVE WITH TRUDEAU'S EXIT

Trudeau promised “sunny days” and placed an accent on feminism, inclusivity and progressive policies. he quickly became a global icon, admired for both his image and actions such as legalising marijuana, championing gender equality and a more welcoming stance towards refugees. his government, in its early years, was seen as a beacon of liberal values, contrasting sharply with the isolationist rhetoric of US President donald Trump’s first term.
