Toronto – Canada's governing Liberal Party will announce the country's next prime minister on March 9 after a leadership vote that follows the resignation of Justin Trudeau this week, party leaders said late Thursday. Trudeau remains prime minister until a new leader is chosen.

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly on Friday announced she would not run in the race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying she wanted to focus on the threat posed by potential U.S. tariffs.

President of the Liberal Party of Canada Sachit Mehra, said in a statement, "After a robust and secure nation-wide process, the Liberal Party of Canada will choose a new leader on March 9, and be ready to fight and win the 2025 election.

Justin Trudeau's leadership has faced significant challenges in the wake of the COVID crisis, leading to a loss of confidence among Canadians from various backgrounds.

Announcing his resignation on Monday, Trudeau said he planned to stay on as prime minister until a new party leader is selected. Who will succeed him — and can they survive a looming no-confidence vote?

Trudeau is to step down as Liberal leader amid growing disapproval in his party and tariff threats from Donald Trump — paving the way for a new prime minister.

The development comes a month after Canada's deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, resigned suddenly from Trudeau's cabinet.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he would resign from his roles as prime minister and Liberal Party leader. Trudeau’s resignation will abruptly end an impressive political career stalled by domestic economic problems and a growing feud with the incoming Trump administration.

Donald Trump isn’t facing any real repercussions, but that’s not stopping him from turning his sentence into a grift.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom. The Prime Minister offered his sincerest condolences regarding the fatalities and destruction in the Los Angeles area from the ongoing wildfires, and he offered Canada’s full support to assist California’s firefighting efforts.

Liberal MP Yvonne Jones says she has decided to end her decades-long political career and won’t see re-election but will finish her term. She said it wasn’t due to health problems or to spend more time with her family.
