Canada's Justin Trudeau era is coming to an end. Abandoned by a majority of his caucus, the three-term prime minister announced Monday that he plans to step down as prime minister and as the leader of his party, the latest in a global line of sinking incumbents. Trudeau also announced that Canada's Parliament would shut down until March 24, and that he has asked the Liberal party to begin the search for a new leader. The announcement adds chaos to uncertainty in Ottawa ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House and a looming trade war. Read the latest. |
