According to sources cited by The Globe and Mail, there is a big change coming for Canadian politics. It is expected that Justin Trudeau, the current leader of the Liberal Party, will announce his resignation this week. The announcement could come as early as today or before a national caucus meeting on Wednesday.
There is still some uncertainty around Trudeau's resignation. It is not yet clear if he will step down immediately or continue in his role until a new leader is chosen. Trudeau has been in office for almost a decade, since April 2015, and has secured two election victories for the Liberal Party in 2019 and 2021. However, recent polls have shown the party lagging behind the Conservatives, who are expected to win the next election, which must be held before October.
One source revealed that Trudeau had been in discussions with Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc about potentially stepping in as interim leader and prime minister. This would only work if LeBlanc does not plan on running for the leadership himself. However, if LeBlanc decides to run, this solution would no longer be feasible.
It seems that the decision to resign has been a difficult one for Trudeau, as he has been Canada's prime minister for a significant amount of time. But with the upcoming election and the declining popularity of the Liberal Party, it appears that he has come to the conclusion that it is time for a change.
In the meantime, all eyes will be on Trudeau as the public awaits his official announcement and the details of his resignation. The Canadian political landscape is about to shift, and it will be interesting to see who will step up to lead the Liberal Party in the next election. Until then, we can only wait and see what the future holds for Canadian politics.
