^{Published on 2025-01-07 00:00:41 - Firstpost}

Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader at a press conference at Rideau Cottage. From former Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland to Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc,

The article from Firstpost discusses the political situation surrounding Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been facing calls to resign due to various controversies and a dip in his approval ratings. Despite these pressures, Trudeau has not indicated any plans to step down. The piece outlines potential successors within the Liberal Party who could replace him if he were to resign. Key contenders include:

Chrystia Freeland, the current Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, known for her international experience and economic policies.

Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, who has been floated as a potential leader due to his economic expertise.

Mélanie Joly, the Foreign Affairs Minister, who has gained visibility through her handling of international relations.

Dominic LeBlanc, a long-time Liberal politician with a strong base in New Brunswick, known for his political acumen.

Anita Anand, the Defence Minister, who has risen in prominence due to her management of military and procurement issues during the global health crisis.

The article also touches on Trudeau's recent challenges, including the handling of the Freedom Convoy protests, allegations of foreign interference, and economic issues, all of which have contributed to the speculation about his future in politics. However, Trudeau's resilience and the lack of a clear, overwhelming successor might keep him in power for the foreseeable future.
