Jagmeet Singh Moves to Topple Trudeau Government

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may face an early exit from power as Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), announced plans to introduce a no-confidence motion when Parliament reconvenes on January 27. If supported by all opposition parties, the motion could lead to Trudeau's removal after more than nine years in office and trigger a new election. Polls indicate that the Liberals are suffering from voter fatigue and dissatisfaction over high prices and housing issues, which could result in a significant defeat against the right-of-center Conservatives. Singh criticized Trudeau for being too aligned with big business, asserting that the government’s time is up. The leader of the Bloc Quebecois has also pledged support for the motion, further solidifying opposition against Trudeau. Following Singh's announcement, Trudeau conducted a cabinet shuffle amidst increasing pressure, particularly after the recent resignation of his finance minister.
