Canadian PM Trudeau to resign today: CNN

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has led the Canadian government for nearly a decade, plans to announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party during a national address on Monday at 10:45 a.m., CNN reports.

Trudeau will remain on as prime minister until a successor is chosen, according to CNN's sources.

Trudeau has been under pressure from members of his own party as polls show that the public has broadly soured on his leadership and as the Liberals significantly trail the Conservative Party in polls.

An election in Canada is scheduled to be held by this coming October.
