Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation as leader of the ruling Liberal Party today, marking the end of his nine-year tenure. However, he will remain prime minister until a new leader is chosen.
Trudeau’s resignation comes amid a series of crises, including a diplomatic row with India and a threat from US President-elect Donald Trump to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.
Additionally, Trudeau has faced criticism for his handling of domestic issues, such as inflation and immigration, which have led to a decline in his popularity ratings. His rating has dropped significantly since he took office.
Trudeau has also been embroiled in several controversies, including ethics scandals, criticism for taking a holiday on a billionaire’s private island, and diplomatic blunders. These controversies, combined with the current crises, have likely contributed to Trudeau’s decision to step down as leader of the Liberal Party.
