Trudeau resigns prompting leadership race in Canada’s Liberal Party

Justin Trudeau's resignation has initiated a search for a new leader of the Liberal Party. The party's national board will meet this week to outline the selection process, which may take several months. The Liberal Party faces challenges in rebuilding its base amid poor poll standings and a potential government collapse. Several prominent candidates are emerging, including Chrystia Freeland, Mark Carney, and François-Philippe Champagne. The leadership race is significant as it may reshape the party's strategy, especially with candidates from western Canada. This shift could help the Liberals appeal to regions traditionally dominated by Conservative voters.
