TORONTO - Rocked by dissension within his Liberal Party, Justin Trudeau announced on Monday (Jan. 6) that he will resign as party leader and prime minister of Canada.

 "I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust nationwide competitive process," the 51-year-old politician said in the capital Ottawa.

Trudeau, son of the former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, had occupied the top government post since 2015 when he was sworn-in as Canada's 23rd prime minister. (Video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ag-avnpItw).

His administration has faced challenges within the ranks of his cabinet ministers, the latest notably came from deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland who quit her post as finance minister in mid-December.

Trudeau has been repeatedly mocked by the convicted felon and president-elect Donald Trump, calling him "governor of Canada" and teasing Canada as the 51st state of the United States. (Copyright 2025. All Rights Reserved).
