Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly preparing to announce his resignation this week due to growing discontent within his Liberal Party, according to a report by The Globe and Mail.
The newspaper, citing three anonymous sources familiar with the matter, indicated that Trudeau’s announcement could come as early as Monday. This comes ahead of a scheduled national Liberal Party caucus meeting on Wednesday.
It’s currently unclear whether Trudeau will continue as interim leader while the party seeks new leadership.
Trudeau swept into power in 2015, capturing global attention with his progressive policies and youthful image. He led the Liberal Party to additional victories in 2019 and 2021. However, recent opinion polls show him lagging 20 points behind Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
This potential resignation could mark a significant shift in Canadian politics, with implications not just for Canada but for international relations that affect many around the world.
As the situation develops, many are watching to see how the Liberal Party will navigate this leadership change and what it means for the future of Canada’s role on the global stage.
