Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party will select a new leader on March 9, following his announcement to step down after nine years. This decision comes amid poor polling for the party ahead of the 2025 elections. Trudeau will remain in his roles until the leadership vote concludes. The party's National Board has set the rules for the race, with a candidate entry fee of C$350,000. Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland and former central banker Mark Carney are expected to run, while others are still deciding. The deadline to register as a Liberal member to vote is January 27.
