Canada’s Justin Trudeau May Resign as PM – Currently ‘Considering His Options’ After Finance Minister Quits
After nearly a decade in power, the reign of Canada’s far-left Prime MInister Justin Trudeau may finally be coming to an end.
According to sources who spoke with CTV, Trudeau is currently “considering his options” after the shock resignation of his Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
In a public resignation letter, Freeland said that Canada faces a “grave challenge” from the incoming Trump administration, which she described as “pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs.”
The letter read:
We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.
That means pushing back against ‘America First’ economic nationalism with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring. That means working in good faith and humility with the Premiers of the provinces and territories of our great and diverse country, and building a true Team Canada response.
I know Canadians would recognize and respect such an approach. They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on ourselves. Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end. But how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer. Canada will win if we are strong, smart, and united.
It is this conviction which has driven my strenuous efforts this fall to manage our spending in ways that will give us the flexibility we will need to meet the serious challenges presented by the United States.
