BREAKING: Justin Trudeau resigns as Canada’s Prime Minister

In a surprising move, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation after nearly a decade in power

Citing internal party pressures and declining public support, Trudeau stated that his decision was necessary to provide Canadians with “a real choice” in the upcoming federal election

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Trudeau explained, “If I’m having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.”

He confirmed that he would remain in office until the Liberal Party selects a new leader and announced that parliament would be suspended until March 24, 2025.

Trudeau’s resignation follows a period of waning popularity that has impacted his party’s prospects ahead of this year’s federal elections. His nine-year tenure, marked by significant political and social reforms, concludes as Canada prepares for a shift in its political landscape.
