Trudeau resigns as Canadian Prime Minister amid Conservative Party surge in polls

Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister of Canada amid declining popularity and internal party pressure. His leadership saw a shift from a majority government in 2015 to minority status in subsequent elections, with the Conservative Party gaining significant support. The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, has made inroads among younger voters and blue-collar workers, capitalizing on Trudeau's waning influence. Poilievre's focus on economic issues and direct communication through social media has helped the party establish a strong lead in polls. Trudeau's departure comes as Canada faces economic challenges, particularly concerning its relationship with the U.S. The potential re-election of Donald Trump raises concerns about tariffs that could impact Canadian jobs and trade.
