Throughout the waning weeks of 2024, a growing chorus of Canadian lawmakers—including many members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s own Liberal Party—urged Canada’s embattled leader to “take a walk in the snow.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation Monday after nearly a decade in power, bowing to rising discontent over his leadership.

Trudeau's departure would leave the party without a permanent head at a time when polls show the Liberals will "badly lose" to the official opposition Conservatives in an election that must be held by late October.
