The crisis was exacerbated earlier this week by the sudden resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, one of the most prominent members of Trudeau’s Cabinet. Recently, his most trusted and powerful ally, Chrystia Freeland, resigned from the cabinet.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing the toughest test of his 10-year political career. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was once celebrating his 2015 victory with promises of change and optimism. But now he is facing increasing pressure from both his party and the opposition to step down. Given Canada’s economic mess and diplomatic missteps, many have not maintained that confidence in Trudeau’s abilities. After nearly a decade in power, Trudeau’s political future is facing falling approval ratings, internal strife and growing concerns. The middle is becoming uncertain.
The crisis was exacerbated earlier this week by the sudden resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, one of the most prominent members of Trudeau’s Cabinet. Recently, his most trusted and powerful ally, Chrystia Freeland, resigned from the cabinet. Along with being the Finance Minister, she was also the Deputy Prime Minister of the country. This unexpected move has raised serious questions over Trudeau’s leadership and the stability of the government. Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s pro-separatist party NDP (New Democratic Party), has demanded Trudeau’s resignation. The NDP was part of Tudeau’s minority government until a few months ago.
Freeland reportedly stepped down after disagreements over how to respond to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s threats to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian goods. His sudden departure sent shock waves across Canada and raised serious concerns about the stability of Trudeau’s government. Trudeau’s former ally and National Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh was the first to call on Trudeau to step down. This comes after Trudeau saw his popularity fall to its lowest ever level, less than a year before the October 2025 elections. But their troubles are not limited to the domestic front, they also face strained international relations with India and the US.
