Trudeau plans resignation as a party chairman for poor surveys

The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announce that he resigns as chairman of the ruling liberal party. Canadian media report that this could happen before the general election that is scheduled for later this year and which he will most likely lose.

Trudeau before important decision

sources, which reported the Globe and Mail and Reuters, indicate that Trudeau could make his cancellation announcement before a decisive meeting of the National Party Klaus on Wednesday. However, the sources emphasized that he has not yet made a final decision.

herd of crisis and political challenges

Trudeau, who has been running the liberal party for 11 years and has been a prime minister for nine years, is faced with numerous challenges. These include tariff threats by Donald Trump , the resignation more important ally and catastrophic survey values. A resignation of Trudeau would be seen as a preliminary decision to escape a possible fate.

choice and political future of the liberals

The liberal party would leave a resignation without a permanent chairman shortly before the upcoming election. Surveys show that the liberals are very likely to lose against the conservative opposition under the leadership of Pierre Poilievre. The choice must take place by October 20 at the latest, but could also be preferred.

Trudeaus possible withdrawal strategy

It remains unclear whether Trudeau immediately resigns or remains in office until a new party chairman was elected. The national board of the Liberal Party, responsible for management questions, will probably be days this week, probably after the exam meeting.

Surprising resignation of the finance minister

The government of Trudeau was recently shaken by the unexpected resignation of the deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. This happened only a few hours before it should present an annual budget report. In a sharp letter of withdrawal, she criticized Trudeau's "political gimmicks", obviously in relation to a two-month sales tax reduction and $ 250 Canadian dollars (approx. $ 175) for most employees.

Trump’s threats and a worrying environment

Freeland was concerned that Canada could not afford these political measures, which are regarded as an optional gifts for the recovery of voters. This is done at a time when the country threatens to threaten serious customs threats from the Trump administration.

Trump, who returns to the White House on January 20, has announced that it signs an executive arrangement that imposed a 25%customs on all products that are imported from Canada into the USA. He also reduced Trudeau and Canada on social media and called the prime minister the "governor" of the "Great State of Canada".

Trudeau's legacy and public opinion

Trudeau brought the liberals to power in 2015 and promised “sunny paths” for Canada. He campaigned for progressive issues such as climate protection and the processing of historical injustices towards indigenous peoples. Nevertheless, the last years of his term of office have been shaped by growing economic unrest.

a virale confrontation with a steel worker that criticized Trudeau that he did not address the increased living expenses, illustrated the dissatisfaction among the Canadians. "You don't do anything for us, Justin," the worker noticed and expressed a widespread feeling.

future of the liberal party

Trudeau was elected three times, most recently in 2021 when he stayed in office but lost his majority of government. Since then, the conservative party under Poilievre has built up a lead of over 20 % compared to the liberals in national surveys. Poilievre has recently found support from Trump's followers, including Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and owner of X. Towards the end of last year, Musk Trudeau called "an unbearable tool" and added that Trudeau "will no longer be in power".
