6-1-2025 (OTTAWA) In a seismic shift for Canadian politics, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party, whilst maintaining his role as Prime Minister until a successor emerges, according to well-placed sources within the party.
The Prime Minister is scheduled to address the nation from Rideau Cottage at 10:45 this morning, marking the end of an era in Canadian political history that began with his election as Liberal leader in 2013.
The decision comes amidst mounting pressure from within his own party ranks, with a growing chorus of Liberal MPs publicly calling for new leadership. The internal dissent has reached unprecedented levels, with regional caucuses from Atlantic Canada, Quebec, and Ontario collectively voicing their desire for change at the party’s helm.
