Justin Trudeau's Resignation and Political Turmoil in Canada
Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister of Canada after nearly a decade in office, motivated by growing dissent within his party and declining popularity amidst an economic crisis. The departure comes after significant internal conflicts, highlighted by the abrupt resignation of his finance minister, which underscored the fragmentation within the Liberal Party. Trudeau expressed that fighting internal battles would hinder his effectiveness as a candidate in the upcoming national elections, stating that Canada deserves better leadership. With parliamentary sessions suspended until late March to facilitate a leadership transition, challenges such as high inflation and housing shortages will weigh heavily on his successor.
