OTTAWA, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is increasingly likely to announce he intends to step down, though he has not made a final decision, a source familiar with Trudeau’s thinking said on Sunday.
The source spoke to Reuters after the Globe and Mail reported that Trudeau was expected to announce as early as Monday that he would quit as leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party after nine years in office.
The Prime Minister is selected by the majority party within the House of Commons, kinda like an “elect the party” type deal. The election cycle is roughly every 4 years, the last election was in 2021 and next election has to occur before Oct 20th
For Americans from an American: Instead of the electoral college, imagine our House of Representatives, not our Senate, chose the next President.
Thank you for that simple and easy to understand explanation.
