While the exact timing of Trudeau’s resignation remains unclear, it is expected to occur before a national caucus meeting scheduled for Wednesday.

This news follows a period of declining public support for Trudeau, who has been Canada’s prime minister since 2015.

Canada is grappling with several economic and social challenges, including a housing crisis, high inflation, and a declining per-capita GDP.

With a national election set for October 20, Trudeau’s approval ratings have hit historic lows.

According to a poll conducted by Angus Reid as of December 24, Trudeau’s disapproval rating stands at 68%, with only 28% of Canadians expressing support for him.

Trudeau’s expected resignation comes on the heels of several difficult months in Canadian politics.

In September, he survived a no-confidence vote in Parliament, despite efforts by the Conservative Party to remove him from office.

Adding to his political troubles, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from Trudeau’s cabinet on December 16.

Freeland, once regarded as a staunch Trudeau ally, stated in her resignation letter that she and the prime minister had diverging views on the best course for Canada.

“For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada,” Freeland wrote in her letter.

She emphasized the need for fiscal caution, citing the possibility of a “coming tariff war.”

Freeland’s departure dealt a significant blow to Trudeau’s administration, and her resignation was widely interpreted as a sign of deepening divisions within the Liberal Party.

Adding to Trudeau’s challenges, Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and a former ally, announced plans to introduce a motion of no-confidence on January 27.

Singh criticized the Liberal Party’s leadership and called for change.

“No matter who is leading the Liberal Party, this government’s time is up. We will put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons,” Singh said.

Trudeau has also faced criticism for his personal choices during times of national crisis.

In late November, the prime minister was seen attending a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto while violent riots erupted in Montreal.

The incident drew widespread condemnation, with opposition members accusing him of prioritizing leisure over governance.

Don Stewart, a Member of Parliament representing a Toronto district, voiced his frustration on social media.

“Lawless protesters run roughshod over Montreal in violent protest. The Prime Minister dances,” Stewart wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “This is the Canada built by the Liberal government. Bring back law and order, safe streets and communities in the Canada we once knew and loved.”

Trudeau later addressed the riots, describing the violence as “appalling” and emphasizing the need for accountability.

The writing is on the wall: Justin Trudeau is on his way out.

Gerald Butts, Trudeau’s closest ally, says his leadership is “unsurvivable.”

Trudeau’s anticipated resignation marks a significant moment in Canadian politics.

As the Liberal Party navigates the fallout from his departure, the country’s political landscape is poised for a shift ahead of the upcoming national election.

With mounting economic challenges, political division, and public dissatisfaction, the next steps for Trudeau and his party will likely shape Canada’s trajectory in the months to come.
