Justin Trudeau has resigned as leader of Canada’s governing party and suspended parliament for three months following an open revolt by his MPs over the soaring cost of food and the country’s housing crisis.The Canadian prime minister said he made the decision after discussing his future over dinner with his children on Sunday evening.
Mr Trudeau also confirmed he plans to stay on as party leader until the Liberals find a successor and that he has prorogued parliament, effectively suspending its operations, until March 24.
It comes after his finance minister and key ally Chrystia Freeland quit over disagreements surrounding how the Canadian government should respond to the threat of sweeping tariffs from Donald Trump’s incoming administration.
Mr Trudeau subsequently announced a major shake-up to his cabinet, changing a third of his team in a bid to settle the political turmoil.
Before Christmas, Mr Trudeau faced a mini revolt by 24 MPs following the shock resignation of Chrystia Freeland, the deputy prime minister, finance minister and long-time ally to the prime minister.
