Poll Shows Canadians Favor Early Election

In Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority government faces increasing pressure for an early election, with over half of Canadians favoring opposition parties to bring down the government as soon as possible. Following the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and growing discontent over high prices and a housing crisis, support for the Liberals has plummeted to around 20%, tying them with the NDP. New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh plans to introduce a no-confidence motion when Parliament returns on January 27, which could lead to Trudeau's ousting if all opposition parties unite. Despite 73% of poll respondents suggesting Trudeau should resign, his cabinet remains loyal for now. The Conservatives have gained significant ground, recently winning a byelection and holding a substantial lead in voter support. Voter fatigue and calls for a change in government are intensifying as Trudeau's leadership comes under scrutiny.
