Trudeau's Resignation Amidst Political Strain

Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister after nearly a decade in office, a decision influenced by significant economic challenges and internal political turmoil within his party. His declining approval ratings, rising opposition support, and a pivotal moment marked by the resignation of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, contributed to the perception that he could no longer effectively lead. Freeland's public departure and critical letter underscored growing discontent within the Liberal Party, compounding the pressures on Trudeau to step down. This reaction from within his party, combined with external economic factors, positioned Trudeau in an untenable situation as he faced increasing calls for new leadership.
