Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership is under scrutiny following the sudden resignation of his senior cabinet member, Chrystia Freeland. The departure has raised questions about Trudeau’s ability to lead during a critical juncture for Canada.
Trudeau faces several options to move forward: heed the calls for him to resign, hang on and weather the storm, or prorogue parliament to avoid a no-confidence vote.
With declining approval ratings and special election losses, Trudeau is under pressure from his own party and opposition forces. However, he has held on despite these challenges and repeatedly vowed to run again as Liberal leader in the next election.
The Conservative Party’s efforts to trigger an election by tabling multiple no-confidence votes have been unsuccessful so far. Nevertheless, with parliament adjourning for the holidays, Trudeau will not face another confidence motion until late January.
Ultimately, Canada must hold its next election on or before October, and it may be voters who decide Trudeau’s future.
