Ottawa- Justin Trudeau’s announcement to resign as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada marks a pivotal moment in Canadian politics. The statement by Sachit Mehra, President of the Liberal Party, highlights Trudeau’s transformational leadership over the past decade, including landmark achievements such as the Canada Child Benefit, $10-a-day childcare, a national climate plan, and universal pharmacare.
Speculation is growing around potential candidates for the leadership race, with figures like Chrystia Freeland, Dominic LeBlanc, Mark Carney, Melanie Joly, Anita Anand and Christy Clark emerging as possible frontrunners. The Liberal Party now prepares for a nationwide democratic process to select its next leader, ushering in a new chapter for the party and Canadian politics.
