- On January 6, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation amid growing discontent with his leadership.
- Mr. Trudeau said it had become clear to him that he "cannot remain leader until the next election due to internal fighting."
- He said Parliament, which was scheduled to resume on January 27, would remain suspended until March 24.
- All three main opposition parties have said they plan to topple the Liberal Party with a motion of no confidence when Parliament resumes, so an election is almost certain to be held in the spring after the Liberals choose a new leader.
