Toronto – Canada's governing Liberal Party will announce the country's next prime minister on March 9 after a leadership vote that follows the resignation of Justin Trudeau this week, party leaders said late Thursday. Trudeau remains prime minister until a new leader is chosen.

Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc has decided not to run for leadership of the Liberal Party, saying he needs to focus on countering the threat of tariffs from Donald Trump’s administration.

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?
