Justin Trudeau Resignations: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned on Monday (January 6) after almost a decade-long rule. Because of this, the stir in political circles has intensified. Discussion has started about his successor. Prominent names like Anita Anand, Pierre Poulivre, Chrystia Freeland, and Mark Carney are emerging in the race for the next Prime Minister of Canada. Among these, Indian-origin leader Anita Anand is considered one of the strongest contenders due to her effective governance and good record of public service. If Anita Anand becomes the PM of Canada, then it can be expected that Canada’s relations with India can become good again, which came to its lowest level during the time of Trudeau.
There is a significant number of people of Indian origin in Canada. For this reason, a person of Indian origin becoming PM can give good signs for India. Earlier, during Trudeau’s reign, India was falsely accused of the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, after which the relations between the two countries deteriorated. The Canadian government did not present any concrete evidence in this regard. The result was that Trudeau’s relations with other leaders within the party deteriorated. Many people demanded his resignation.
I don’t back down from any fight – Trudeau
After being Prime Minister of Canada for almost a decade, Justin Trudeau announced his resignation from his post on Monday (January 6). He cited loss of voter support and internal conflicts within the Liberal Party as the main reasons behind his resignation. Trudeau made it clear that he will remain Prime Minister until a new leader of the party is chosen. He said, “I don’t shy away from a fight, especially when it’s important to our country and party. But the interests of Canadians and the well-being of democracy are paramount to me.”
Race for claim for Prime Minister intensifies
The race for the next Prime Minister has intensified within the Liberal Party. Keeping this in mind, the session of Parliament has been adjourned from January 27 to March 24, so that the Liberal Party can get time to elect its new leader. During this time, opposition parties have also started preparations to challenge the Liberal Party, due to which there is a possibility of spring elections after the new leader is elected. Amidst all this, BBC has counted Indian-origin leader Anita Anand among the 5 candidates who can replace Justin Trudeau.
