Similar to events in France and Germany, Canada also faces political upheaval, and reached a tipping point with the resignation of finance and deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, on 16 December 2024. Shortly after, on 6 January 2025, Prime Minister of Canada for over nine years, Mr Trudeau, announced his intention to resign as Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader.
