Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian Prime Minister after nine years in office

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation this week after nine years in office. His departure follows a series of controversies and declining popularity, culminating in the resignation of key cabinet member Chrystia Freeland. Trudeau's leadership faced challenges, including criticism over his handling of indigenous issues and the COVID-19 pandemic. His government struggled with rising inflation and backlash against vaccine mandates, leading to significant public discontent. The resignation marks a significant shift for the Liberal Party, which is now facing potential electoral challenges. Trudeau's exit comes amid a backdrop of political turmoil and declining approval ratings.
