According to the Associated Press (AP), Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau resigned as Liberal Party leader and prime minister, effectively ending nearly a decade in power this morning. He said Canada needs 'a reset' in politics. 

AP reports Trudeau will remain as prime minister until the party elects a new leader. This will come in March, when Parliament resumes following its suspension today due to this announcement.
