Justin Trudeau announces resignation as Canadian Liberal leader amid declining support

elpais.com

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he will resign once the Liberal Party elects a new leader. This decision follows a decline in his popularity and internal conflicts within his party, including the recent resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Trudeau's leadership faced challenges from rising opposition, particularly the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre. The Liberals have struggled with economic issues, including high inflation and housing difficulties, leading to a loss of support among voters. The suspension of parliamentary proceedings until March 24 aims to give the Liberals time to reorganize. However, opposition parties are pushing for early elections, and the Liberals may face a no-confidence vote when Parliament resumes.
