Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to resign within a matter of days amid public outcry within his country over his liberal politics.
Sources familiar with the prime minister’s plans told The Globe and Mail that Trudeau may announce as early as Monday that he will resign as the Liberal Party leader.
They admitted they are not certain when Trudeau will make his announcement, but stressed that it would be before a key national caucus meeting on Wednesday – with one source saying Trudeau realizes he needs to make an announcement before he meets with the Liberal caucus so it doesn’t look like he was forced out by the party.
It is unclear what Liberal Party national executives plan to do to replace Trudeau as prime minister, and whether he will stay in his position until a new leader is selected.
But the Liberal Party national executive, which rules on leadership issues, is planning to meet later this week.
