Justin Trudeau faced a major challenge on Monday as Chrystia Freeland publicly resigned from her position, sparking calls for the Prime Minister to step down from NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and some Liberal MPs. Despite the pressure, Trudeau remained defiant in the face of criticism.

As the political drama unfolds, Mackenzie Gray analyzes the situation and looks ahead to what comes next for Trudeau.
