Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau set to resign; announcement soon

OTTAWA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preparing to resign. It is learned that Trudeau may announce his resignation this week.

It is also possible that Trudeau will announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party before the emergency party meeting. It is also unclear whether Trudeau will stay on as prime minister until the Liberal Party names a new leader or if the position will be given to someone else.

It is also learned that Trudeau is considering making Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc the interim prime minister. However, this will not happen if LeBlanc decides to run for the Liberal leadership. The challenge for the Liberal Party is to find a new leader ahead of the general election in October. Trudeau, 53, became prime minister in 2015. The survey predicts that the liberal party will lose the election and the conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre will come to power.

Anti-India gamble bites back

• Trudeau's popularity fell due to anti-India policy, immigration and promotion of Khalistanis.
• The Liberal Party (153), which does not have a majority in the 338-member Parliament, is isolated. Trudeau's own party also wants Trudeau to resign
• Former ally Jagmeet Singh's New Democratic Party (25 seats) demanded Trudeau's ouster.
• The main opposition Conservative Party has 119 members and Bloc Quebecois has 33.
• There is a possibility of a vote of no confidence when Parliament meets on the 27th of this month. Trudeau does not have the support of 170 MPs needed to pass
