Trudeau says he thinks about quitting ‘crazy, super tough’ job daily, but is determined to continue

Trudeau told a radio host on Friday that he thinks about quitting his 'challenging' prime minister job every day, but is still motivated to continue and face the next election.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to continue on as head of government in an interview with Radio-Canada on Friday despite what he described as the personal challenges that come with the position.
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 “challenging” job.
But Trudeau said significant domestic and international challenges nevertheless motivate him to remain in the post and face the next federal election scheduled for next year.

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.
“If I wasn’t doubting what I’m doing almost every day I wouldn’t be human.”
