Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced he’s stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he will step down as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, marking a major shift in the landscape of Canadian politics. He will remain in his role as Prime Minister until a new leader is chosen by the party.

In a related action, Trudeau has asked Governor General Mary Simon to prorogue Parliament until March 24, 2025. This move effectively suspends all legislative activities, causing current bills to lapse. Parliament will not resume its legislative work until it reconvenes in March.

The prorogation also means that the federal government will miss important deadlines, including changes to laws regarding citizenship by descent. This delay could have significant consequences for those waiting for updates on this legislation.

Trudeau’s resignation signifies the conclusion of a significant chapter in Liberal leadership, and the coming months will be crucial in determining the future path of both the party and the nation.
