Trudeau Faces Pressure Amid Non-Confidence Motion

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing significant pressure to resign as over half of the Liberal caucus, excluding Cabinet Ministers, has expressed a desire for his departure. Liberal Party support has dropped to a historic low of 16%, and Trudeau's personal approval rating is at 22%, according to the Angus Reid Institute. In response, the Conservative Party, led by MP John Williamson, is preparing to introduce a non-confidence motion, potentially leading to an election as early as this spring. The New Democratic Party (NDP), which had been supporting the minority government, is ready to back the motion following Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's unexpected resignation. If successful, the motion could trigger an election, with the opposition Conservatives currently leading in polls with 45% support. The motion is set to be debated on January 7 and could be voted on in the House of Commons by January 30.
