Sources: Justin Trudeau Expected to Announce Resignation

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation this week due to internal resistance within his own party, according to sources for, among others, The Globe and Mail.

The announcement may come as early as Monday, according to the sources. Whether he will remain in office until a replacement has been appointed is unclear.

In December, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, one of Trudeau's closest confidants, resigned. She stated herself that the resignation was her only "honest and possible" choice after Trudeau offered her another portfolio in the government.

Trudeau's popularity has decreased significantly in recent months. His government barely survived a series of votes of no confidence recently and critics have demanded his resignation.
