After nearly a decade in power, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally bowed to a chorus of criticism that had become too loud to ignore, announcing his resignation on Monday. Among the loudest critics was one of his most loyal and longest-serving deputies.

OTTAWA — The race to replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is dominated by one name: Donald Trump. How to wrestle with the incoming president and his tariff threats has emerged as the defining question in the Liberal Party leadership contest.

Newfoundland and Labrador Liberal MP Ken McDonald said he personally credits Freeland for reversing the decision to impose the carbon tax on home heating fuel, which mostly affected Atlantic Canadians and was widely seen as a blow to the carbon tax policy.

Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland is billing herself as the best person to lead Canada's fight against Donald Trump.

Canada’s governing Liberal Party will announce the country’s new prime minister March 9 after a leadership vote that follows the resignation of Justin Trudeau this week.

Justin Trudeau, who has led the country for nearly a decade, is giving up leadership of the Liberal party. He said he would remain in both roles until his replacement had been chosen through a party election.

Chrystia Freeland has called for economic retaliation if President-elect Trump follows through with his threat to impose tariffs.

Announcing his resignation on Monday, Trudeau said he planned to stay on as prime minister until a new party leader is selected. Who will succeed him — and can they survive a looming no-confidence vote?

Chrystia Freeland launched her Liberal leadership bid with an 80-second video, saying "Donald Trump doesn't like me" and that Canada must meet Trump's threats "dollar-for-dollar."

Trudeau, under pressure from legislators over the party’s pool poll showing, announced on Jan 6 that he would step down after more than nine years in office.

Government House leader Karina Gould says she’s entering the race to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader.
