A Langley BC Dairy Queen is celebrating Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation by offering $2 burgers. Trudeau announced his resignation from both his role as Prime Minister and Liberal Party leadership on Monday. This announcement signifies a significant change in Canada’s political landscape. Although the specific date of his departure is not yet determined, Trudeau will continue his Prime Ministerial duties until his successor is appointed. This transition might occur rapidly.
“I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister after the party selects its next leader. Last night I asked the president of the Liberal Party to start that process,” Trudeau said during his farewell address in Ottawa. He added that he will leave office as soon as the ruling Liberal party chooses a new leader.

Social media users on X shared their experiences about the promotion. One user who posted the offer asserted, “For the record it was insanely packed. I saw my own MLA and local friends there, and they finished eating before I got through the drive-thru.” Another user expressed surprise, writing, “This is real??? LMAO I’m going to have DQ for lunch tomorrow.” Another remarked, “No joke – they must have run out of those burgers fast.”
Trudeau’s Legacy and Resignation
Trudeau, Canada’s 23rd Prime Minister and son of former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, took office on November 4, 2015, after leading the Liberal Party to victory in that year’s federal elections. His resignation marks the end of nearly a decade in power. Trudeau’s tenure has been marked by significant achievements and challenges, and his departure will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on Canada’s political landscape.
As the Liberal Party prepares for new leadership, the country watches closely to see who will step into Trudeau’s shoes. The transition period will be crucial for the party and the nation as they navigate this significant change.
