Justin Trudeau Resigns as Canadian Prime Minister

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister, effective after a new leader is chosen. His decision follows months of internal dissent within the party, which has hindered his ability to lead effectively. Trudeau cited the need for a 'real choice' in the next election and acknowledged that he could not be the best option amidst ongoing challenges. His resignation reflects a broader shift in global politics, with rising far-right populism and comparisons to figures like Donald Trump. Trudeau's tenure, marked by significant events including the COVID-19 pandemic and the controversial response to the trucker protests, has come to a close, and his successor will face the immediate challenge of navigating a changing political landscape. The Liberal Party will now initiate a nationwide process to select a new leader, while Trudeau remains in office until the transition is complete.
