Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly expected to resign possibly as early as Monday. However, a source told news outlets he hasn’t made a final decision. “The source spoke to Reuters after the Globe and Mail reported that Trudeau was expected to announce as early as Monday that he would quit as leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party after nine years in office,” Reuters reports. Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation before a national caucus meeting on Wednesday. #BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation before the national caucus meeting on Wednesday, according to reports. pic.twitter.com/SEpBS2e9sR — R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) January 6, 2025 BREAKING: Justin Trudeau expected to announce resignation as Prime Minister of Canada by Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/pg3BLbD2QS — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) January 6, 2025 Per Reuters: 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. Sources told the Globe and Mail that they did not know definitely when Trudeau would announce his plans to leave but said they expect it would happen before a emergency meeting of Liberal legislators on Wednesday. An increasing number of Liberal parliamentarians, alarmed by a series of gloomy polls, have publicly urged Trudeau to quit. The prime minister’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours. The prime minister’s regularly published schedule for Monday said he would participate virtually in a cabinet committee meeting on Canada-U.S. relations. It remains unclear whether Trudeau will leave immediately or stay on as prime minister until a new Liberal leader is selected, the Globe and Mail report added.

The announcement is set to be made before the national caucus meeting, the outlet reports. Trudeau’s support among Canadians has completely collapsed, with just 30% of Canadians approving of his job as PM,” Collin Rugg wrote. “His approval rating was 63% when he was first elected. More and more leaders have called on Trudeau to resign in recent weeks. Last month, leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party Jagmeet Singh called on the PM to resign,” he added.

The country continues to suffer from a housing crisis, a declining per-capita GDP and high inflation, among other issues. According to Canadian pollster Angus Reid, Trudeau has a disapproval rate of around 68% as of Dec. 24, with a meager 28% of Canadians supporting him. The potential resignation would also come after Trudeau, who became prime minister in 2015, braved a difficult few months in politics. In September, he faced a no confidence vote in parliament that later failed, despite efforts from the Conservative Party to remove him from office. On Dec. 16, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that she was stepping down from Trudeau’s cabinet, dealing a significant blow to the prime minister. In her resignation letter, she claimed that the only “honest and viable path” was to leave the Cabinet. “For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada,” Freeland, who was previously seen as a Trudeau loyalist, wrote. “Our country is facing a grave challenge,” the letter added. “That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war.” This story is developing.
