Not done. His announced resignation has not yet taken effect: "Trudeau will stay as leader until a new leader is chosen, after which he will resign as prime minister." The article will be updated accordingly when he officially leaves office. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 20:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Not done for now: Something as small as this needs more context of where it is in the article. Assuming you mean being PM, he still is until a new PM is appointed. Ultraodan (talk) 08:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Justin Trudeau is currently the interim prime ministeras per the liberal party constitution section 44c & 44d that Justin Trudeau himself implemented
c. If the Leader publicly announces an intention to resign or if the Leader delivers to the National President a written resignation or
a written request to call a Leadership Vote, then the Leader ceases to be the Leader on the earlier of the appointment of an Interim Leader and when a new Leader is elected by Registered Liberals.
d. Upon the occurrence of a Leadership Trigger Event, or if the Leader publicly announces an intention to resign or if the Leader delivers to the National President a written resignation or a written request to call a Leadership Vote, the National President must call a meeting of the National Board of Directors to be held within 27 days, and at that meeting the National Board of Directors must:
i. upon the occurrence of a Leadership Trigger Event, or if the Leader so requests, in consultation with the Caucus, appoint an “Interim Leader”;
ii. set a date for a Leadership Vote;
iii. establish the Leadership Expenses
committee consisting of:
1. two co-chairs, one of whom must be a man and one of whom must a woman and one of whom must be English- speaking and one of whom must be French-speaking;
2. the Treasurer;
3. two person selected by the National
Board from among the members of the National Board, one of whom must be English-speaking and one of whom must be French-speaking;
4. two representatives appointed by the Caucus;
5. any number of other Registered Liberals of the Party appointed by the co-chairs in consultation with the National Board and respecting the principle of equal participation of men and women and the recognition of English and French as the official languages of Canada [1]
i would like “Trudeau will remain leader until a new leader is chosen, after which he will resign as prime minister.” changed to “Trudeau has selected himself as interim leader until a new leader is chosen, after which he will resign as interim prime minister.” 2001:1970:4AE5:A300:B0FF:84F8:E4C3:3828 (talk) 06:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
in the last paragraph “Trudeau will remain leader until a new leader is chosen, after which he will resign as prime minister.” Should be replaced by “ Trudeau has selected himself as interim leader ntil a new leader is chosen, after which he will resign as interim prime minister”:

I definitely see the reason for specifying interim party leader. But I was under the impression that while he is interim party leader, he still holds the office of PM (not interim). From what I can see Canada has no "interim" PM position. It's entirely possible that I'm wrong so feel free to correct me. Ultraodan (talk) 08:24, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
If this process was to happen with a different person than Trudeau I don’t believe there would be a ossue reffering you the person in power between elected leaders as the interim prime minister.
historically the interim leader has not been referred to as the prime minister as global news did here, so interim prime minister is the proper term
Housefather said if Trudeau were to resign in the coming days or weeks, the caucus could vote on an interim leader to serve as prime minister during a leadership election or even, “theoretically,” into the next election.
Canada has never before had an interim prime minister. When former prime minister Brian Mulroney faced plummeting polls and announced his retirement in 1993, he did so while saying he would step aside once a leadership convention had determined his successor, who became former prime minister Kim Campbell.
I also believe there could be a practical difference in the terms as a interim prime minister has very little negotiation powers as they won’t be in bower very long and new government can change things. Considering the political atmosphere in Canada regarding negotiations surrounding tariffs, this is a important distinction 2001:1970:4AE5:A300:B0FF:84F8:E4C3:3828 (talk) 10:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
I should have been clearer. Are there any reliable sources (primary or secondary in this case) that have referred to him as interim PM? If not then it shouldn't be in the article. Ultraodan (talk) 10:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
After further review I realize you are correct, it wouldn’t be referring to him as a interim prime minister, just the interim leader. And I did notice a second flaw as his caucus would have voted him into this position therefore the statement “he appointed himself” is incorrect 2001:1970:4AE5:A300:B0FF:84F8:E4C3:3828 (talk) 13:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
