Trudeau on the brink after chaotic day in Ottawa



Justin Trudeau faces the most significant political crisis of his career after Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland dramatically resigned, triggering a potential leadership collapse. Nearly 60 of the 153 Liberal Party MPs are now calling for Trudeau's resignation, representing over a third of his caucus.


Key Developments:
  • Freeland quit after disagreeing with Trudeau about Canada's economic path
  • Trudeau appointed Dominic LeBlanc as the new finance minister
  • The government is struggling with low poll numbers, trailing Conservatives by 20 points
  • Potential election could occur in spring 2025
Political Pressure:
  • Opposition parties demanding Trudeau's exit
  • NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says "He has to go"
  • Liberal MP Chad Collins admits the party is "not united"
Trudeau's political future hangs in the balance, with mounting internal party dissent and external political challenges, including potential tariff threats from incoming U.S. President Donald Trump.
