Trudeau Faces Mounting Calls to Resign as Liberal Leadership Crisis Deepens
With key regional caucuses urging his departure and opposition parties planning non-confidence motions, Trudeau’s political future is increasingly uncertain.
- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is under growing pressure to step down, with the Liberal caucuses from Atlantic Canada, Ontario, and Quebec calling for his resignation.
- The resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland in December has intensified internal party dissent and raised questions about Trudeau’s ability to lead into the next election.
- Opposition parties, including the Conservatives and NDP, have announced plans to introduce non-confidence motions when the House of Commons reconvenes on January 27.
- Speculation has emerged that Trudeau may prorogue Parliament to delay legislative business and buy time for a leadership transition or to stabilize his government.
- Public opinion polls show the Liberals trailing significantly behind the Conservatives, with many Canadians expressing a lack of confidence in Trudeau’s leadership.
