With Trudeau announcing his departure as Prime Minister, what is his legacy and what does the future hold?

EXCERPT: "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, first elected more than nine years ago, announced his resignation on Monday, January 6.

Speaking from the front steps of his official residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, the PM said he had asked Governor General Mary Simon to prorogue Parliament, a request she accepted.

Parliament will return for a new session on March 24, at which time the Liberal party will almost certainly have a new leader. Trudeau will remain at the head of the Liberals, and Prime Minister, until the party chooses that new leader.

And so, there will be a full-fledged competitive leadership race over the next two to three months. The Liberal caucus will not choose a new leader. Nor will they select an interim leader. . . . "
