AI Summary:
Justin Trudeau resigned before the Liberal Party’s national caucus on Wednesday. His announcement follows a swirl of speculation over his political future. He swept to power in 2015 and led the Liberals to two more ballot box victories in 2019 and 2021. Liberals will need to set up a special leadership convention to choose their next head. The challenge for the party is that these conventions usually take months to arrange and if an election does occur before then, the Liberals would be in the hands of a prime minister not chosen by members. This has never happened in Canada. Melanie Joly has been a staunch supporter of Trudeau. The US president-elect has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on the United States’ three largest trading partners. Poilievre is a fan of short catchy phrases to encapsulate his political messages. He likes to describe himself as a victim of mistreatment by elites and traditional media. In 2022, when he fought for the leadership of the country’s main opposition Conservatives, he was nonetheless seen as an outsider.
