Trudeau about to Resign? [1]

Bloomberg is reporting tonight that Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, may be preparing to resign as leader of Canada’s Liberal Party this week, and thus stepping down as prime minister:

Trudeau has been under pressure from elected lawmakers in his party to quit for months — and it increased further when Chrystia Freeland, his finance minister, stepped down on Dec. 16, saying she and the prime minister were at odds on policy. Liberal lawmakers are scheduled to hold a caucus meeting on Wednesday. Trudeau’s resignation would trigger a race for the party leadership, with the winner becoming prime minister.

The dispute with his finance minister apparently involved how best to deal with the threat of tariffs on Canadian exports to the US by the incoming Trump administration.
