Trudeau Resigns as Prime Minister, Triggering Leadership Race and Political Uncertainty

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation, effective after the Liberal Party selects a new leader. This decision follows mounting pressure from within his caucus and declining public approval, culminating in the recent resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Trudeau has requested Parliament be prorogued until March 24th, initiating a leadership race within the Liberal party. The Conservatives, currently ahead in polls, intend to pursue a non-confidence motion.

Trudeau’s Liberals Plummet to Historic Lows, Facing Potential Annihilation

A new Angus Reid Institute poll reveals historically low support for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, with only 16% of decided voters expressing support—a figure rivaling the party’s worst performance in the modern era. This represents roughly half their pre-2021 election support, with many former Liberal voters shifting to the NDP or Conservatives. The poll also shows significant disapproval of Trudeau himself (74%), while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre enjoys 45% support. Furthermore, 46% of Liberal supporters want Trudeau to resign immediately, highlighting the party’s internal struggles.
