Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resigned, prompting the Liberal Party to seek his successor by March 24. Anita Anand, the Indian-origin Transport Minister, is a leading contender. Born in Nova Scotia to Indian physician parents, Anand has held key roles since her 2019 parliamentary entry, including Minister of Public Services and Procurement, where she secured COVID-19 vaccines, and Minister of National Defence, addressing military misconduct and supporting Ukraine. Her academic tenure includes professorships at the University of Toronto and Yale Law School. If chosen, Anand would be Canada's first woman of colour and first person of Indian descent to serve as Prime Minister.
