Justin Trudeau Faces Leadership Crisis as Calls for Resignation Grow

Amid Chrystia Freeland's resignation and internal party dissent, Trudeau weighs his future as Liberal leader with mounting political challenges ahead.

Chrystia Freeland's abrupt resignation as finance minister and deputy prime minister has intensified calls within the Liberal Party for Justin Trudeau to step down as leader.
Freeland cited disagreements with Trudeau's economic priorities and concerns about the incoming Trump administration's tariff threats as reasons for her departure.
Multiple Liberal MPs, particularly in the Ontario caucus, have privately and publicly urged Trudeau to resign, citing declining party unity and poor polling ahead of the 2025 federal election.
The Liberal Party faces additional pressure after losing support from the NDP, which has announced plans to bring a no-confidence motion against Trudeau's minority government.
Trudeau is reportedly taking the holiday period to reflect on his leadership, while potential successors, including Freeland and Dominic LeBlanc, are being discussed within the party.
