<h1>Canadian PM Trudeau Resigns; Liberals Rush to Elect New Leader Before March 24 to Avoid No-Confidence Vote.</h1> Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation amid declining support within his party and nationwide. The Liberal Party must elect a new leader before the March 24 parliamentary session to avoid a no-confidence vote and potential spring election, which could favor the Conservative Party. Potential successors include former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, and current Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc. The political transition occurs as US President-elect Donald Trump threatens tariffs on Canadian goods, complicating Canada's economic and political landscape. Recent polls show the Liberals lagging significantly behind the Conservatives.
