At 11 a.m. ET on Jan. 6, 2025, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally put the country out of its misery and resigned.
Sort of.
“I intend to resign as party leader and prime minister after the party selects its next leader in a robust, competitive nationwide process,” he announced. And how long will that take? Over two months, by the sound of it. Because prior to announcing his resignation, the prime minister also asked the Governor General to prorogue Parliament until March 24.
