Among the leading contenders are:
- Chrystia Freeland: A former deputy prime minister who resigned last month and was one of the most high-profile members of Trudeau’s cabinet.
- Mark Carney: A former governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England.
- Anita Anand: Canada’s transport minister.
- Mélanie Joly: The current minister of foreign affairs.
- Dominic LeBlanc: Minister of finance and intergovernmental affairs.
Trudeau’s resignation signals a turning point in Canadian politics. While his leadership inspired many, his declining popularity and internal party struggles have forced this dramatic step. The next few months will be critical for the Liberal Party as they prepare to elect a new leader and face a challenging general election.
