Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holds a press conference to talk about his political future.
Trudeau — who has become deeply unpopular over a range of issues, including the soaring cost of food and housing — has kept publicly mum in recent weeks, despite intensifying pressure for him to step down after the abrupt resignation of his finance minister on Dec. 16.

Stella's Place 
Sadly, he did not actually resign. He said he will resign when a new Liberal Party leader is selected.
Then he prorogued Parliament until March.
Which means he kept himself in power and dodged the planned vote of non-confidence, which the NDP said they would support this time, this month. Upon losing the confidence of Parliament, an election would have been triggered.
Which would have happened in March.
Meanwhile he and his sycophants can continue doing their back room actions, like ordering Canada Revenue to collect his Capital Gains tax, even though it was never approved by Parliament, without any checks and balances.
The selection of a new leader could be dragged on for months.
