Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation as Liberal party leader as early as Monday, following mounting pressure from within his caucus and declining public support.
OTTAWA — Monday could mark a historic week in Canadian politics if the growing chorus calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gets its way.
