Trudeau Faces Political Crisis as Finance Minister Resigns

President-elect Donald Trump said Canada's finance minister's behavior was 'totally toxic and not at all conductive to making deals' in a post to Truth Social after the announced resignation. Justin Trudeau faced the biggest test of his political career after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, long one of his most powerful and loyal ministers, resigned from the Cabinet on Monday.

The stunning move raised questions about how much longer the prime minister of nearly 10 years — whose popularity has plummeted due to concerns about inflation and immigration — can stay on as his administration scrambles to deal with incoming U.S. President-elect. 'The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!' Trump previously trolled Trudeau by calling Canada a state. And during his first term in his office — when he renegotiated the free trade deal with Canada and After being sworn in, LeBlanc told reporters he and Trudeau are focused on the cost of living facing Canadians and on finding common ground with Trump on border security and economic issues. 'It's not been an easy day,' Trudeau later told a room of party supporters. He called it one of his party's “toughest days' but he did not say what he planned to do. Jagmeet Singh, leader of the opposition New Democratic Party which Trudeau’s ruling Liberals have relied upon to stay in power, called for him to resign earlier Monday.The main opposition Conservatives have not called for Trudeau’s resignation but demand an election. But a no confidence vote in the government is not imminent with Parliament about to break for the holiday
