SUMMARY: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Liberal leader and prime minister on January 6, 2025, amid increasing dissatisfaction with his leadership and following the sudden departure of his finance minister. Trudeau stated he could not lead the party into the next elections due to internal strife, though he will remain in office until a new leader is elected. The suspension of Parliament allows time for a leadership race, with a potential spring election looming. Trudeau’s popularity has waned over various issues, including rising costs and immigration, leading to a significant decline in Liberal support in polls.
