Justin Trudeau may announce his resignation as Prime Minister during a press conference at Rideau Cottage, with updates to follow.
Ottawa: So, it looks like Justin Trudeau might be stepping down soon. Sources say he could announce his resignation during a press conference at Rideau Cottage. That’s happening at 10:45 AM ET on Monday.
There’s a bit of mystery around whether he’ll leave right away or stick around until the party picks a new leader. The Liberal Party is set to meet next week to figure things out, and they might go for an interim leader or a quick leadership contest.
This news comes at a tricky time for the Liberals. Polls show they might lose to the Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre. The next federal election is due by October 20, 2025, so the pressure is on.
Trudeau has been under fire lately, especially after former finance minister Chrystia Freeland resigned and criticized him for his “political gimmicks.” There are growing calls from MPs across the board for him to step down.
