Former Trudeau cabinet member takes aim at PM in new autobiography

Former Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau is set to release his autobiography in October in which he takes aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a Canada he says has “lost its standing in the world.”

Garneau served in Trudeau’s cabinet for six years, more than five of those as the Minister of Transportation. He was then shifted to serve as the country’s minister of foreign affairs, before he was unexpectedly dropped during a cabinet shuffle in 2021.

Garneau’s autobiography isn’t the first of its kind.

Last year, former Finance Minister Bill Moreau released one of his own which criticized Trudeau for making mostly unilateral decisions and putting politics ahead of policy.

Trudeau has been facing growing calls to resign from both sides of the political aisle since his party loss of the the historically Liberal riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s.
