Trudeau announces plans to step down as Canada’s prime minister after nearly nine years in office

Justin Trudeau has announced he will step down as prime minister and Liberal Party leader after a successor is chosen. This decision comes amid declining support for his government and rising challenges, including economic issues and public dissatisfaction. During his nearly nine years in office, Trudeau's government implemented significant policies, such as legalizing marijuana, increasing immigration, and expanding social programs. However, he faced criticism for not fulfilling promises like electoral reform and for controversies that marred his administration. As Trudeau prepares to leave, questions arise about his legacy and the future direction of Canadian politics. His government emphasized diversity, climate action, and social equality, but the impact of these policies may be reassessed under new leadership.
