Trudeau Hit Hard as Deputy PM Resignation Rocks Canada; A Game-Changing Decision Looms

Toronto (The Uttam Hindu): In a surprising move, Canada's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from her post on Monday after disagreeing with Justin Trudeau over US President-elect Donald Trump's tariff threats. Freeland was not only the Deputy PM but also Canada's Finance Minister; she resigned as Finance Minister as well. The Deputy PM's resignation marked the first open disagreement against Prime Minister Trudeau within his cabinet. This political turmoil in Canada has put Trudeau's chair in danger.

Another blow to Trudeau after the resignation of Deputy PM in Canada, may take a big decision soon : Soon after Chrystia Freeland's sudden resignation, her cabinet colleague Dominic LeBlanc was sworn in as Canada's new finance minister. LeBlanc, a longtime aide of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, served as public safety minister in his cabinet. The move comes at a time when Canada is grappling with a $62 billion deficit due to "unexpected expenses".

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had not yet recovered from the shock of Chrystia Freeland's resignation when pro-Khalistan leader and New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh gave him another big shock. Along with this, 23 MPs have written a letter demanding Trudeau's resignation. Jagmeet Singh has given a big statement about Trudeau and said that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should resign after Chrystia Freeland's resignation from the post of Finance Minister this morning.

Canadian media reports have called for Trudeau's resignation, saying the prime minister is indeed considering resigning. According to Canada's CTV, sources told CTV News that the prime minister has told the cabinet he is considering resigning and that he is possibly planning to address parliament.
