Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing mounting pressure to resign from within his own party. Recent events, including the surprise resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, have emboldened critics and fueled calls for a leadership change. A significant number of Liberal MPs, particularly from Ontario, have reportedly expressed their lack of confidence in Trudeau.

OTTAWA – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ’s support within his own party appeared to falter further on Sunday, as former loyalists said growing numbers of Liberal caucus members wanted the premier to resign. Trudeau has suffered a series of blows in recent days, spurred by the surprise resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland , who clashed with her boss over incoming US president Donald Trump ’s threats to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports.

Freeland’s exit, after nearly a decade at Trudeau’s side, marked the first open dissent against the prime minister from within his Cabinet and has emboldened critics. Ottawa area MP Chandra Arya told the public broadcaster CBC on Sunday that dozens of Liberal MPs wanted Trudeau to go. Arya was interviewed a day after Liberal MPs from the province of Ontario held a meeting that addressed Trudeau’s future. Multiple outlets, including the CBC and Toronto Star, reported more than 50 of the 75 Ontario Liberals in parliament declared in Saturday’s meeting they no longer supported Trudeau. Asked about those reports, Arya said a “majority of the caucus thinks it is time for the prime minister to step aside.” Anthony Housefather, a Liberal member of parliament from the province of Quebec, told the CBC on Sunday “the prime minister needs to go.” “We’re in an impossible situation if he stays,” Housefather said, arguing the party would be hammered in an election that amounted to a referendum on Trudeau’s leadership. Trudeau has huddled with advisers to contemplate his future ahead of elections set for October 2025 but expected much sooner. He changed a third of his cabinet on Friday. Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the small leftist New Democratic Party in parliament, declared Friday that he would join with other opposition parties to topple Trudeau’s minority government early next yea
