Ottawa, January 6 (UITV) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party on Monday. This news was given by ‘The Globe and Mail’ on Sunday, citing three reliable sources. However, the report also said that it is not completely clear when Trudeau will resign, but sources estimate that he will announce this decision before an important national caucus meeting on Wednesday. In this context, the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office has clearly refused to make any kind of comment.
This matter can prove to be a turning point for the political situation in Canada. The Liberal Party is currently going through a serious crisis and this has raised questions about the future of the party. According to current surveys, if the Liberal Party’s performance remains poor like this, then they may lose badly to the Conservative Party in the elections to be held by the end of October. This situation has become a matter of serious concern for the party. In such a situation, it is believed that Trudeau’s resignation will pose a new challenge for the party and the demand for early elections may intensify after his resignation.
According to the report, Prime Minister Trudeau has discussed with Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc on whether he would be ready to take over as interim leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister. However, a source says that if LeBlanc plans to run for leadership, it may be impractical. In this situation, the question arises as to who will be the next leader of the party and whether Trudeau’s resignation will bring any change in the direction of the party.
Trudeau is currently going through the most difficult phase of his political career. On the domestic front, the popularity of his government and party is falling rapidly. Dissatisfaction with his work is increasing among the public and this situation has become a big challenge for the party. Not only this, Trudeau has also faced severe criticism in foreign policy, which is playing an important role in his decision to resign.

Trudeau’s troubles on the foreign front began when he made baseless allegations against India in 2023. The Canadian Prime Minister had made a statement in Parliament on 18 September 2023 that Canadian security agencies were investigating possible links between Indian government agents and the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He claimed that the allegations were credible, but the allegation was rejected by India and no concrete evidence was presented by Canada.
Nijjar was killed on 18 June 2023 in the parking lot of a gurdwara in British Columbia and the incident put a strain on the relations between the two countries. The Canadian Prime Minister’s statement further strained relations with India and questions were raised in the country about his government’s foreign policy.
Apart from this, Trudeau has also faced tough challenges with the US. US President Donald Trump has adopted an aggressive stance to put trade pressure on Canada. He has repeatedly threatened Ottawa to increase tariffs and this time his attitude has become so intense that he is insulting Trudeau by calling him the governor of the state of Canada. Trump has also announced that he will sign orders on the first day of his taking office in January 2025, under which a 25 percent tariff will be imposed on all goods coming from Mexico and Canada.
This situation has become even more difficult for Trudeau, because Canada’s economic situation and trade relations with the US and other countries are already complicated. Trump’s move is likely to have a serious impact on the Canadian economy and fingers are being raised on Trudeau’s leadership.
Amidst all these issues and challenges, Trudeau’s resignation points to a major political change for the party and the country. The end of his leadership may give a new direction to the Liberal Party, but at the same time it is also likely that the party may have to face a tough political battle. This situation can prove to be a turning point for Canada’s future and political landscape.
Justin Trudeau’s resignation could cause a major stir in Canadian politics. His resignation could lead to a change of leadership within the Liberal Party as well as demands for new elections, which will determine the political direction of the country.
