Justin Trudeau announces resignation as Pierre Poilievre emerges as frontrunner for Prime Minister of Canada
Justin Trudeau has announced he will resign as Prime Minister of Canada once a successor is chosen. This decision comes amid declining popularity and public demand for change. Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, is currently the favorite to succeed Trudeau. He has been the leader of the opposition since 2022 and has been critical of Trudeau's government. Other potential candidates include Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of Canada, and Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democratic Party. Carney is considering a run, while Singh faces challenges in gaining support against the Conservatives.
