Pierre Trudeau stepped down as Prime Minister of Canada in 1979 after losing the federal election to Joe Clark and the Progressive Conservative Party. Although he returned to power in 1980, he announced his retirement in 1984, citing a desire for new leadership within the Liberal Party and the need for a personal change after years of public service. His resignation marked the end of his second term and paved the way for John Turner to succeed him as party leader.
