Canadian Liberal lawmaker Justin Trudeau, the eldest son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, will run for the leadership of the party his father led for more than 16 years.
Trudeau announced his candidacy at an event in the Montreal electoral district he currently represents. The Liberals, once dubbed Canada’s natural governing party because it won 21 of 31 elections between 1896 and 2004, had its worst-ever showings in the last two elections.
