Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Faces Leadership Crisis as Confidence Erodes

With growing dissent in his party and a potential no-confidence vote looming, Trudeau's future as prime minister is increasingly uncertain.

New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh has announced plans to introduce a no-confidence motion when Parliament reconvenes on January 27, potentially ending Trudeau's nine-year tenure as prime minister.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland's recent resignation over policy disagreements has intensified internal Liberal Party pressure for Trudeau to step down.
Nearly half of Liberal MPs are reportedly advocating for Trudeau's early resignation to allow the party to elect a new leader before the next federal election, which could occur as early as spring 2025.
Public opinion polls show the Liberal Party under Trudeau trailing the opposition Conservatives by as much as 25 points, with predictions of historic electoral losses if an election were held today.
Trudeau has resisted calls to resign, considering options such as proroguing Parliament to delay a no-confidence vote, though this could further alienate his party and the public.
