Ottawa: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has become an opponent of India by supporting Khalistanis in Canada, is facing problems one after another. Trudeau has faced opposition in the country regarding Khalistan supporters. America’s newly elected President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs, while now PM Trudeau is also facing opposition from the ruling party. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned from cabinet after criticizing Trudeau on social media. Trudeau is also under pressure to resign.
Chrystia Freeland, 56, Canadian deputy prime minister and Trudeau confidant, said in her resignation letter to the prime minister, “The Prime Minister and I remain at odds over what is the best way forward for Canada.” So I felt that the best path for me in these circumstances was to leave the cabinet. According to local media reports, Freeland and Trudeau clashed over temporary tax breaks and other spending proposals. As a result, Trudeau recommended that he be removed from his position as Finance Minister and transferred to another position. However, Cristea decided to leave the cabinet. With this he has given a big blow to Trudeau.
With Canada’s federal election due next year, following Freeland’s resignation as Finance Minister, senior members of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party and MPs have strongly urged him to resign as Prime Minister. Canadian media said on Monday evening that Justin Trudeau has not yet decided whether he will resign or remain in office.
On the other hand, 60 out of 153 MPs of Canada’s Labor Party have requested Justin Trudeau to resign. At a meeting of the party’s inner circles on Monday evening, Trudeau was asked to tender his resignation as soon as possible.
Chrystia Freeland’s resignation is becoming a breaking point for Trudeau. Apart from MPs from other parties, MPs from his own Liberal Party have also demanded resignation from the Prime Minister. Defending himself against this, Justin Trudeau said in the party quorum that as Prime Minister I have the opportunity to serve the entire country through your survey… I wake up every day. Then I keep thinking that why should I serve this country and how to make the country the best.
Pierre Polivier, leader of the opposition Conservative (Tory) Conservative Party, said in clear words that no one has confidence in Trudeau now. Neither his own party members nor his cabinet ministers have confidence in it. Except Jagmeet Singh. However, it is worth noting that Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party has broken its one-time alliance with Trudeau’s Conservative (Tory) Party.
