Moment of reckoning

With Justin Trudeau deciding to step down as Canada's prime minister, the country's politics has come on the verge of what can safely be said “end of an era”.

After nearly a decade in power, Trudeau announced his resignation amidst growing internal dissent within his Liberal Party alongside mounting public dissatisfaction. While he will remain in office until the Liberals select a new leader, his certain exit speaks volumes about the immense challenges faced by the Liberal government lately—both domestically and on the global stage. It remains to be seen whether Trudeau's resignation satiates the frustration of people or will the entire episode gobble up the Liberal Party's proximate political prospects as a whole.
