With Parliament prorogued, the Liberals will begin the process of finding a new leader as support for Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives grows

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation, telling the nation that “internal battles” mean he “cannot be the best option” in the next election. Trudeau said Monday he has asked the president of his Liberal Party to begin the process to select a new leader.

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.
