The Canadian government is in danger and Justin Trudeau can be ousted from power at any time. His party has come into minority after the withdrawal of support of the partner party. Jagmeet Singh, the head of the left-leaning party NDP in Canada, ended his agreement with Trudeau’s Liberal Party. Both parties were in alliance since 2022. Trudeau has described Jagmeet Singh as his true partner on many occasions. Trudeau is shocked by Singh’s sudden withdrawal of support. Trudeau’s government can fall anytime due to this move of the NDP. However, Trudeau has expressed confidence that he will not let his government fall under any circumstances. Let us tell you that recently released surveys show that if elections are held in Canada now, Trudeau’s Liberal Party will lose badly.
On Wednesday, the NDP, the party that helped keep Justin Trudeau’s minority Liberal government in power, withdrew its support. Now Trudeau will have to try to form new alliances to run his government smoothly. But this move by the NDP will decide whether Trudeau’s government will survive or fall, depending on the support of other opposition MPs for Trudeau to win a confidence vote in the lower house of Parliament. According to Canadian rules, elections are to be held by the end of October 2025.
Canadian government in minority, what will Trudeau do now?
“There will be an election in 2025, I hope not until next fall, because in the meantime, we’re going to work for Canadians. I really hope that the NDP will focus on how we can work for Canadians rather than focusing on politics, as we have done in years past,” Trudeau told reporters.
Trudeau will lose if elections are held now
It is worth noting that 52-year-old Trudeau took over as PM for the first time in November 2015. But in the last two years, apart from the opposition, he has also had to face the indifference of the public. Politicians and the public blame the Trudeau government for the recent inflation and housing crisis. Recent surveys show that if elections are held now, Trudeau’s Liberal Party will lose badly. In the year 2022, there was an agreement between the Liberal Party and Jagmeet Singh’s NDP to stay together till 2025, but seeing the results of the surveys and people’s anger towards the Trudeau government, the NDP withdrew its support.
