Dr.Collins: Trudeau’s resignation seems to stem from a combination of growing internal dissent within the Liberal Party and declining public support. His acknowledgment that he may not be the best candidate for the upcoming elections, set for October, reflects a strategic move to allow for fresh leadership that could rejuvenate the party’s prospects.

Following the nomination process for a new leader, attending party events, and participating in discussions can definitely help unify the base.
