Sources familiar with Trudeau’s thinking on Sunday said that Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, is more likely to announce his intention to step down. However, he hasn’t made a final choice.

Source spoke to Reuters following Globe and Mail report that Trudeau would announce his resignation as leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party as soon as Monday.

Source requests anonymity as they are not authorized to speak in public.

Trudeau’s resignation would leave the Liberal Party without a permanent leader at a moment when polls indicate that the Liberals are likely to lose badly to the Conservatives, the official opposition party in the election due by the end of October.

The Globe and Mail reported that sources did not know for sure when Trudeau will announce his plans to depart, but they said they expected it to happen on Wednesday before an emergency meeting of Liberal lawmakers.

A growing number of Liberal MPs have publicly called on Trudeau, who has been alarmed by the gloomy results of recent polls.

The office of the prime minister did not respond immediately to a comment request outside normal business hours. According to the regularly published Monday schedule of the prime minister, he will virtually participate in a Cabinet Committee meeting on Canada-U.S. Relations.

The Globe and Mail reported that it is still unclear if Trudeau will step down immediately or remain as Prime Minister until a new Liberal Leader has been selected.

The calls to resign are growing.

Trudeau became Liberal leader in 2013, when the party had fallen into deep crisis and was reduced to third position in the House of Commons.

If he does, this would probably lead to new calls for an immediate election in order to establish a stable government capable of dealing with the administration Donald Trump’s for the next four-year period.

One source told the newspaper that the prime minister had discussed with Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc if he would agree to serve as interim leader and premier. This would not be possible if LeBlanc planned to run for leadership.

Trudeau (53), had managed to repel Liberal legislators who were worried about polls and losing safe seats in the two special elections.

Trudeau has been under increasing pressure to step down since December when he tried to demote Chrystia Freiland, his closest cabinet ally, for refusing to accept his proposal for increased spending.

Trudeau led the Liberals to victory in 2015 by promising “sunny days” and a progressive program that promoted women’s rights and promised to combat climate change.

The daily realities of government gradually wore him out, and he spent much of his free time dealing with the effects the pandemic.
