The Trudeau government is facing turmoil as Liberal resignations continue to rock the administration. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has called for a vote on the Fall Economic Statement, which was delayed and is now expected to be delivered on Monday. The uncertainty surrounding who will deliver the fiscal update comes after Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation from Trudeau’s cabinet. Freeland cited disagreements with Trudeau as the reason for her decision to step down.
In addition to Freeland’s resignation, Housing Minister Sean Fraser also announced his departure from the federal Cabinet, further adding to the chaos within the Liberal party. Poilievre has urged the government to table the fiscal update for a vote in the House of Commons, suggesting a potential non-confidence vote that could lead to a “carbon tax election.” With the upcoming change in the US administration, Poilievre is being viewed as Canada’s best option in dealing with the incoming Donald Trump administration, as indicated by an Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News.
The resignations within the Trudeau government have left many questioning the stability and direction of the administration. As tensions rise and key ministers continue to step down, the future of the Liberal party remains uncertain. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
