Justin Trudeau's bizarre Parliament exit photo: A sign of humor or something more?

In a bizarre yet humorous moment, outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was seen leaving the House of Commons carrying his chair with his tongue sticking out. This light-hearted gesture, captured by a Reuters photographer, quickly went viral, triggering a wave of reactions on social media.

The picture was taken during the transition of power to Mark Carney, Canada's Prime Minister-designate and new leader of the Liberal Party, and it drew widespread attention. Many users appreciated Trudeau’s sense of humor, while others found the moment unusual.

Reacting to Trudeau’s picture, Canadian political columnist Brian Lilley said, "When any MP leaves the Commons, they are allowed to take their chair, their seat with them. I find it a great tradition, one that I support. That said, this is a weird photo of Trudeau leaving with his. Also, perhaps another sign of a looming election."

How Social Media Reacted

Several social media users shared their reactions to Trudeau’s picture. One of the users wrote, "His face reminds me of the Mori people’s Haka dance.”

“Why is he always sticking his tongue out?” wrote another user. "He doesn't care. He made his millions, and the new guy will make his,” wrote the third user.

Trudeau's Resignation

Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party on January 6. His decision followed a series of political crises in December last year, including the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

In his resignation speech, Trudeau took pride in his decade-long tenure and highlighted the Liberal Party's accomplishments and his commitment to ensuring Canada remains "the best country on Earth."

"I am damn proud of what we've done over these past 10 years for the middle class and the people working hard to join it,” Trudeau said. With Trudeau stepping down, Canada is set to witness a new political era under Mark Carney’s leadership.
