Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, though he will remain prime minister until a successor is chosen. Trudeau’s nearly ten years in office were marked by progressive reforms, including diversity-driven policies and climate initiatives, but also by economic challenges and ethical controversies like the SNC-Lavalin affair.

His resignation ends an era of ambitious yet contentious leadership, leaving Canada at a crossroads as the Liberal Party seeks a new direction amid rising political and economic pressures.
