Justin Trudeau resigns as Canada's Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader
Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister of Canada and leader of the Liberal Party on January 6, 2025. His resignation follows increasing pressure from economic challenges, rising living costs, and strained international relations, particularly with India. Trudeau's tenure included achievements like job creation, tax cuts, and environmental initiatives. However, he faced significant criticism over ethics scandals, economic management, and failures in Indigenous reconciliation. His relationship with India deteriorated amid serious diplomatic tensions. The Liberal Party will now seek a new leader ahead of the federal election scheduled for October 2025. Trudeau's future in politics remains uncertain as he steps down amid declining public support.
