Pressure Mounts on Trudeau to Resign

Pressure on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign is mounting, particularly among Liberal MPs from Quebec, who are considering joining their counterparts in Ontario and Atlantic Canada in calling for his departure. The Quebec caucus chair, Stephane Lauzon, stated that discussions are ongoing, but no official conclusion has been reached yet. The calls for Trudeau to resign have intensified following the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, which has raised doubts about his leadership ahead of the next federal election. With Liberal Party support plummeting to just 16%, this growing dissent within the party could signal a shift in leadership before the election. Trudeau, currently on vacation in British Columbia, has faced criticism for his absence and for canceling year-end media interviews, exacerbating concerns about his political future. As the likelihood of a Conservative majority government increases, the future of Trudeau's leadership remains uncertain.
