politics – Under pressure like never before in nine years, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could announce his resignation in the coming days
The announcement could be made this Monday and it is half a surprise. With a minority in Parliament, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who had nevertheless indicated his intention to run again in the next legislative elections, could resign.
Under pressure, Justin Trudeau could indeed announce his resignation in the coming days, The Globe and Mail newspaper reported on Sunday. Citing three anonymous sources familiar with the party’s internal affairs, the daily indicates that the Prime Minister’s announcement could come as early as Monday.

This departure would leave the party without a leader a few months before the next legislative elections which must be held by the end of October. When asked, the Prime Minister’s office refused to comment on this information.
