Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to reflect on his future, several Liberal MPs are speculating about his expected resignation in the coming days, and proposing a path forward on how to elect a new leader at a time when the government risks being defeated at any time when the House returns in late January.

“I continue to believe that early in the New Year a plan moving forward will be announced including his [Trudeau’s] resignation and we will be consumed with new challenges,” wrote Judy Sgro (Humber River-Black Creek, Ont.), in an email to her caucus colleagues on Saturday, Dec. 28, obtained by The Hill Times.

A lot has been written and said about Chrystia Freeland’s resignation(opens in a new tab) the week before Christmas. Her bombshell letter(opens in a new tab) to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be part of Canadian political lore for years to come.

I don’t think it was a revelation to Freeland or anyone else that Trudeau likes political gimmicks. It’s that very showman-like approach to political life that contrasted so sharply with the serious Stephen Harper, and it helped Trudeau win his only majority.

The affordability crisis that sent demand at food banks to record levels this year is also hitting a vital part of these organizations’ operations — the donations.

With 2025 showing no signs of relief, some charities have had to reduce how much food they can provide to those who need it the most.

In Toronto, Daily Bread Food Bank saw hundreds of individuals this year who were previously giving $20 a month reduce that donation by about half because it’s all they can give.

There’s no rest for the wicked, so the saying goes, and both Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh are going to be super busy now that the Conservatives have signalled they will force a non-confidence motion in early January.

The Atlantic Liberal caucus is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader.

Following an Atlantic Liberal caucus meeting the morning of December 23, caucus chair Kody Blois wrote a letter to Trudeau, shared Sunday on social media by New Brunswick Liberal MP Wayne Long.

“The discussion this morning centred around the need for you to resign as the Leader of the Liberal Party and to urgently allow for a process to determine a new leader to replace you,” wrote Blois to Trudeau.

As calls mount within the federal Liberal Party for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as leader, one political analyst says there’s little his detractors can do to force his hand.

In a Sunday interview with CTV News Channel, Lori Turnbull of Dalhousie University and the Institute on Governance said the decision remains Trudeau’s at this time, as the party previously removed the option to initiate a leadership change through a majority vote.

On that fateful Friday when Ottawa was gearing up for the following Monday’s fall economic statement, all attention was on the finance minister, who, we discovered later, had been fired that very day by the prime minister via Zoom. Justin Trudeau had set something of a time-delayed explosive, not to take effect until after Chrystia Freeland delivered Monday’s statement. But instead she blew up the government. Understandably so.
