Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shocked the political world Monday by announcing his resignation, ending a nearly decade-long leadership era that began with viral \"#SunnyWays\" optimism but faced mounting challenges in recent years. ✨
\"I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister,\" the 52-year-old leader told reporters in Ottawa, describing his decision as a chance for \"renewal\" after colleagues urged him to exit. His departure will take effect once the Liberal Party elects a successor – a process that could reshape Canada's political landscape ahead of 2025 elections.
Trudeau, the son of late PM Pierre Trudeau, rose to power in 2015 on progressive promises but faced criticism over inflation management and housing affordability. 🏠💸 Analysts say potential successors include Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and former central bank chief Mark Carney.
