Justin Trudeau resigns

Citing a yearning for fresh leadership, embattled Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday.

After over ten years in office, his departure signifies the end of an era.

Trudeau resigned due to pressure from within the party and dwindling public support. However, he will continue to serve as prime minister until his party can elect a new leader. 

As he declared his intention to step down, he claimed he had "one regret," which CNN reports is the nation's election process.
