Canadian PM to step down in a few hours? Justin Trudeau’s big resignation move amid fight with Trump – The Economic Times Video

Canada: Canadian PM Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation as Liberal Party Leader on Jan 06, The Globe and Mail reported citing 3 sources. Although the definite time of announcement hasn’t been confirmed, sources told the Globe and Mail that they expect it will happen before a key national caucus meeting. The Canadian prime minister’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours. It remains unclear whether Trudeau will leave immediately or stay on as prime minister until a new leader is selected, the report added. Trudeau took over as Liberal leader in 2013 when the party was in deep trouble and had been reduced to 3rd place in the House of Commons for 1st first time. Trudeau’s departure would leave the party without a permanent head at a time when polls show Liberals would badly lose to Conservatives in the election.
