Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation Monday, saying he would leave office as soon as his party chooses a new leader, with slumping polls and internal division taking their toll.
"I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader," Trudeau told a news conference in Ottawa following a slow-rolling political crisis that saw top Liberal allies urge him to quit.He said the Liberal leadership race will be"a robust, nationwide competitive process."
The US president-elect reacted to Trudeau's quitting by again airing his unlikely proposal that Canada should merge with its southern neighbor.US President Joe Biden's outgoing administration praised Trudeau as a"stalwart friend" of the United States. But Trudeau's youthful energy and fluency on issues that increasingly mattered to Canadians, including climate change, helped him oust Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper in 2015 elections."He should have resigned over a year ago," said Toronto resident Rob Gwett, 29, adding that today's announcement was"better late than never."He conceded Monday that he was not the best candidate to lead the party into an election that must be held this year.
Several others are expected to join the race which could take multiple months. Liberal party president Sachit Mehra confirmed the contest will kick off this week.In her scathing resignation letter, Freeland had accused Trudeau of focusing on political gimmicks to appease voters, including a costly Christmas tax holiday, instead of steadying Canada's finances ahead of Trump's promised tariffs.
