Trudeau Faces Pressure to Resign Amid Crisis

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing mounting pressure to resign, with increasing dissatisfaction among party members and the public. A recent internal meeting revealed that over a third of Liberal MPs are calling for his resignation, following the abrupt departure of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who cited tension over handling U.S. tariffs. The Atlantic Liberal Caucus has formally requested Trudeau step down, asserting that his continued leadership jeopardizes the party's future against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Public sentiment is overwhelmingly against Trudeau, with a Leger survey indicating that 69% of Canadians believe he should resign, while the Liberals' support has dropped to a historic low of 20.9%. Internal strife is compounded by the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for October 2025, which could significantly alter the political landscape in Canada. Analysts warn that Trudeau's presence could hinder the party's prospects, potentially jeopardizing their status in a future election.
