Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as Liberal Party leader. He will remain as Canadian prime minister until the party has chosen a successor.

It’s the end of a nine-year stint in office, as pressure grew from within his Liberal Party which is trailing significantly behind the opposition Conservatives in the polls.

Trudeau made the announcement from his Rideau Cottage residence.

Sources had previously told The Globe and Mail that Trudeau’s resignation was likely to happen before an emergency meeting for the Liberals on Wednesday.

The row inside Trudeau’s party broke out after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced a proposal to introduce 25 percent tariffs on the country.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland unexpectedly stepped down in mid-December, citing differences with Trudeau on how to approach Trump’s presidency and tariff proposals.

But pressure had already been growing on Trudeau from within the party as its popularity collapsed in the polls.

Canada is already due to hold a general election by the end of October this year.

Justin Trudeau said, “As you all know, I am a fighter, and I am not someone who backs away from a fight, particularly when a fight is as important as this one is.”

“But I have always been driven by my love for Canada, by my desire to serve Canadians and by what is in the best interests of Canadians, and Canadians deserve a real choice in the next election, and it has become obvious to me with the internal battles that I cannot be the one to carry the liberal standard into the next election,” the outgoing prime minister argued.

“Last night, over dinner, I told my kids about the decision that I sharing with you today,” he said Monday.

“I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process,” he added. “Last night, I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process. This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I am having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.”

Justin Trudeau took to the podium, saying “Every morning I've woken up as prime minister, I've been inspired by the resilience, the generosity and the determination of Canadians.”

He added: “It is the driving force of every single day I have the privilege of serving in this office, that is why, since 2015 I've fought for this country, for you, to strengthen and grow the middle class, why we rallied to each other through the pandemic, to advance reconciliation, to defend free trade on this continent, to stand strong with Ukraine and our democracy and to fight climate change and get our economy ready for the future.”

“We are at a critical moment in the world,” he argued.

Justin Trudeau met with Canada’s governor general this morning, asking her to prorogue parliament until 24 March, according to CBC and CTV News.

Proroguing parliament means that all proceedings will cease without dissolving parliament, giving the party time to find a new leader.

What may happen next
Under the constitution of the Liberal Party, the leader can hand in his or her resignation at any point, leading to a leadership contest, which usually takes a few months.

But that process may be sped up as an election is set to be held in Canada on or before 20 October.

A snap election could be held if Trudeau calls for one or if parliament es a no-confidence vote.

“Trudeau is deeply unpopular and has been trailing badly in the polls. He was under enormous pressure to step down before this year’s election,” FiveThirtyEight elections analyst Nathaniel Rakich wrote on X.

Mr Trudeau’s latest crisis has been sparked by the sudden resignation of his finance minister Chrystia Freeland, amid a row over how best to handle US President-elect Donald Trump’s threatened trade tariffs.

Once the poster boy for liberal politics, his popularity has waned, and his approval rating has dipped below 30 percent several times this year.

So what went wrong?
If Justin Trudeau chose not to quit - and instead to face a vote of no-confidence which is set to be brought against him - there is another constitutional route through which he could be removed.

In Canada, constitutional power ultimately lies with governor general Mary Simon.

The governor general is the federal representative of King Charles III. They are appointed by the monarch on the advice of the Canadian prime minister and technically serve for an indefinite term - although this is usually five years.

Ms Simon has the power to remove Mr Trudeau, if she wished. But in reality, this would never happen.

“The governor general won’t dismiss a prime minister who still holds the confidence of the Commons,” Philippe Lagasse, a professor and constitutional expert at Ottawa's Carleton University, said.

Justin Trudeau is a very weak leader. I watching Chairman Xi Jinping scolding him like his errand boy and he was standing there looking at Xi like a fowl beaten by rain.

Reg now is better for him and his party because of the huge humiliation awaiting his party in next elections because of Trudeau ineffective leadership.

Thats so unAfrican of him. Biya and his colleagues should take note of this.

You are so naive, how is this great news, he's a man of integrity, that's why he's stepping down, unlike your hero Mr trump who was impeached twice by the house of representatives for several wrongdoings and he still held on to power with the help of the republican senate

Don't worry, very soon far right and white supremacists will take charge of governments across Europe and America, let's see how it will favor you and your brothers planning to cross the Mediterranean sea

Pastor Pastor. Compliments.

Yawns

That's so funny. How is that news Great or youre playing the Renocrite. Trudeau has tried his best but the real solution to Canada's problems is they need to step out of the shadows of the US. Create a constitution that is not leaning entirely on US policies.

Judas Iscariot was a man of God until he was destroyed by his own design.

Saner climes indeed...

If Tinubu's approval ratings fall to -1000, the Notorious Drug Baron can never resign...

In fact him and his Urchins will rather ask for a third term.

That Canadian visa run is because of Him

All those fake prophets didn't see it coming

If it happens here then it becomes a miracle. Biya come to my mind.

Brave guy. I am sure he never sold drugs in Chicago, otherwise him for choose to grab, snatch and run with it.

Hmmm but wait oooo what kinda democracy do they have in Canada that someone can rule for 9 years. This guy must be some type of gangsta to be able to rule a first world nation for that long.

Good, the conservatives will win Canada and they will start the deportations, Canada, UK, USA, , .

2025 the deportation year, no more staying comfortably in another man's country while sending all sorts of insults and terrorism back home.

Good riddance to bad rubbish 😎

9 years is too long. 8 years should be maximum does he want to become Mugabe or what?

Abeg make we see road..

You know the funniest part of this statement is that trump will be willing to bring in the politicians that we all hate because they are bringing a lot of money with them while the poorest you that actually need to japaa will be thrown out because you bring nothing to their economy

If you guys actually sit down and study his policies and ideologies, you will notice his policies benefit mostly the rich and capitalist class more than the poor

If trump was a Nigerian president, his policies will benefit people like dangote more than anything
