Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is stepping down as Liberal leader after almost a decade at the helm of the party.

Here is a timeline of Trudeau's rise to party leadership and prime minister, and the events that led him to give it all up. 

Oct. 14, 2008: Trudeau is elected as a Liberal member of Parliament in the Montreal riding of Papineau in a narrow victory over the Bloc Québécois. He served as an Opposition MP during the Conservative minority government.

April 5, 2009: Trudeau is named Liberal critic for youth and multiculturalism.

Vineyard Church in Duluth, MN, as well as its parent organization, Vineyard USA, are facing nine civil lawsuits since a few of the pastors have been charged with sexual misconduct. 

This comes after former youth and online pastor of The Vineyard Church, Jackson Gatlin, took a plea in November 2024 for criminal sexual conduct with a child.

Justin Trudeau said he will resign as prime minister and leader of the Liberal party following a leadership contest, after months of growing calls from within the Liberal caucus that he step down for the good of his party.

A teary-eyed Trudeau told reporters outside Rideau Cottage, his official residence in Ottawa, on Monday that he reflected on his political future over the holidays and told his kids Sunday evening over dinner that he has decided it's time for him to move on.

It was an exciting weekend for Love & the Outcome after they were gifted a piano from fellow Christian musician Josh Wilson.

However, once Josh arrived at their home they realized getting it into their place would be quite the challenge.

After a flood forced them from their home in Nashville back in 2023, the couple decided to raise their home. 

"So there's 10 stairs. Big stairs," said Jodi King.

"Yeah, that's a lot of stairs," Josh Wilson replied.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a news conference in Ottawa this morning amid growing calls for his resignation.

The Prime Minister's Office called reporters to Rideau Cottage for 10 a.m. ET and Trudeau is set to speak at 10:45 a.m. ET.

It follows months of speculation over whether Trudeau will decide to step aside and trigger a leadership race.
