"Trudeau resigns as Liberal leader, shuts down Parliament till March 24"

But it's more "intends to resign" than doing it.

Fine print.

"An election to determine a new prime minister is not planned until October"

WOW do Castros love power.

He will rule most of year without Parliament...more like dictatorship than to step down.

Bet he doesn't - that he finds "emergency" by October, to justify no elections.
