  • The rise and fall of Justin Trudeau as Canadian prime minister on the brink of resigning - The leader was once a poster boy for liberalism but is now said to be ready to resign

The article from MSN discusses the political trajectory of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, highlighting his rise to power and the current challenges that have led to speculation about his potential resignation. Trudeau, who first became Prime Minister in 2015, initially enjoyed widespread popularity due to his progressive policies, charisma, and the promise of change after nearly a decade of Conservative rule. However, his tenure has been marked by several controversies including the SNC-Lavalin affair, where he was accused of improperly pressuring his attorney general, and more recently, public backlash over his handling of various issues like housing affordability, inflation, and the response to the Freedom Convoy protests. These events, combined with a dip in his approval ratings and internal party strife, have fueled discussions about his political future. Despite these challenges, Trudeau has not officially announced any plans to step down, but the article suggests that his political capital is waning, and there's growing speculation within political circles about when he might choose to resign or be pushed out by his party.
