Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party and as Prime Minister, stating he will remain in office until a successor is chosen. This decision comes after intensified criticism of his economic policies and declining poll numbers, which point to potential losses in the upcoming parliamentary elections. Trudeau’s deputy, Chrystia Freeland, recently stepped down, and the New Democratic Party has withdrawn support, threatening a confidence vote. The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, is currently poised to gain from this political turmoil.
