Justin Trudeau is reportedly poised to resign amid mounting dissent within his Liberal Party and declining public support. His decision is expected before a Wednesday caucus meeting.
The Globe and Mail reported Sunday that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will likely announce his resignation this week. He faces mounting dissent within his Liberal Party.
The Globe cited three anonymous sources knowledgeable of internal party matters, saying Trudeau’s announcement could come as early as Monday.
According to Globe sources, the announcement would likely be made before a national Liberal Party caucus on Wednesday.
The Globe reported that it remained unclear if Trudeau would remain in an interim capacity while the Liberal Party sought new leadership.
Trudeau swept to power in 2015, leading the Liberals to two more ballot box victories in 2019 and 2021.
But he now trails his main rival, Conservative Pierre Poilievre, by 20 points in public opinion polls.
