Justin Trudeau, the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada, has announced his resignation after nine years in office. The 53-year-old leader shared his decision to step down as leader of the ruling Liberal Party in anticipation of an upcoming general election, which many had predicted he would not win.
Trudeau met with Canadian Governor-General Mary Simon to prorogue parliament until March 24, allowing time for the Liberal Party to choose a new leader. He will continue to serve as Prime Minister until his successor is selected.
During his time in office, Trudeau faced a mix of praise and criticism for his policies on climate change, indigenous rights, and international relations. His resignation marks the end of an era for Canadian politics, as the country prepares for a new chapter under a different leader.
As the process to select a new leader unfolds, Canadians await to see who will fill Trudeau’s shoes and lead the nation into the future. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
