Trudeau resigning is 'fairly' normal for your political process? It's **nothing** like Nixon resigning, right?
Fairly. Doesn’t happen often. No Nixon involved.
Usually happens when a Prime Minister looks at the polls and realizes he (or she) is going to lose.
And why not just wait until that point? Minimize lame duck period/not belabor the issue?
edit: The point of actually getting voted out that is.

Gives his party a chance to rebuild before election.
Merci, for the crash course in 1.03% of the Canadian political process.
In Canada we don't vote for a Prime Minister, we vote for someone in our riding who if they win their riding become a member of parliament. Each riding will generally have one representative from one of each political party. The party leader who wins the most seats, becomes PM. Sometime with a majority and sometimes with a minority, so need colaboration with another party to govern.
Quebec has their own party who only run in that province, but also have the Liberals, Conservatives, Green, NDP parties.
I realize I'm in the Crystal Cathedral tossing boulders but…that seems like a crazy process.
You want crazy??!! I got bad news for you!
We didn't even mention the proroguing part yet!
Those are the little dough things filled with potatoes, right?
With my luck, it's probably the word my phone would have autocorrected to.
