Reports of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation

Reports of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation have heated up the political scene. Trudeau is said to announce his plans soon, perhaps by Monday, and he plans to resign before a key national caucus meeting.

Trudeau’s leadership era, which began in 2013 when he raised the Liberal Party from third place, now appears to be at an end. If these reports are correct, his departure could spell a major political crisis for the Liberal Party, especially when polls show that the Conservatives could easily defeat the Liberal Party in the next election.
