The Canadian Prime Minister could resign before Wednesday, January 8, according to The Globe and Mail newspaper. Justin Trudeau is going through a serious political crisis.
The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, has been facing strong pressure for several weeks in his country. He could announce his resignation in the coming days, revealed the Toronto newspaper The Globe and Mail on January 5. According to three anonymous sources close to the party's backstage, this announcement could take place as early as Monday, January 6.
According to the Globe and MailJustin Trudeau could announce his resignation before his party's national meeting, which is to be held this Wednesday, January 8. This departure would leave the party without direction in the run-up to the legislative elections, which must take place before the end of October. The Prime Minister's Office has chosen not to comment on this information, reports BFMTV.
Trudeau is going through a serious political crisis
Justin Trudeau, who had indicated his wish to run for a new mandate, is well ahead of his conservative opponent, Pierre Poilievre, with more than 20 points behind in the polls. He is also in the minority in Parliament, weakened by the departure of his left-wing ally and growing discontent within his own camp. Trudeau is thus going through the most serious political crisis since he came to power nine years ago.
The situation is particularly chaotic in Ottawa since the unexpected resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who opposed Trudeau over the management of the looming economic war with the United States.
Donald Trump's recent statements have exacerbated this political crisis in Canada, amplifying tensions. The country is preparing to face threats from the future American president, who announced his intention to impose customs tariffs of 25% on Canada and Mexico as soon as he regains power in January.
