Trudeau playfully told radio host Alec Castonguay during a lively portion of the program "Midi info" that he thinks every day about quitting his "crazy," "super tough" and at times even "boring" job.

Women's rights, 2SLGBTQ+ rights and progress fighting climate change are among the issues Trudeau claimed are currently at stake in Canada, and he pointed to global attacks on democracies by what he called extreme populism.

He said he's in politics to serve, not to be popular, and he's convinced he has something to offer as prime minister.
"I couldn't be the man that I am and abandon the fight at this moment," Trudeau said during the French-language interview.
