Justin Trudeau stepping down as Liberal leader, to stay on as PM for now
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. In an historic announcement outside his official Rideau Cottage residence, Trudeau declared his intention to stay on as prime minister until a new leader is chosen.
He refused to appoint a new Deputy PM after Freeland quit so that there would be no obvious interim leader for him to hand off to.
And now Parliament is prorogued until almost April while the most incompetent Cabinet in Canadian history rules effectively by executive fiat with no opposition scrutiny.
Almost like it was aonther deliberate ''fuck you'' to the people.
