Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister after nearly 10 years in office
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party after nearly 10 years in office. His decision follows the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland amid internal party disputes and challenges related to U.S. trade policies. Trudeau's popularity has declined significantly, with approval ratings dropping below 30 percent. His government faced criticism over issues like immigration, housing prices, and inflation, leading to a perception that Canada is "broken" under his leadership. Trudeau's resignation marks a significant shift in Canadian politics, as he was once seen as a symbol of liberalism. He plans to step down after the party selects a new leader through a competitive process.
