Canada’s governing Liberal Party will announce the country’s new prime minister March 9 after a leadership vote that follows the resignation of Justin Trudeau this week

Justin Trudeau chose Jan. 6, a day fraught with significance for Americans, to announce he will depart from the Canadian Office of the Prime Minister. He did so after last year’s visit to President-elect Donald Trump ’s Mar-a-Lago club spectacularly misfired.
