Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s minister of finance and deputy prime minister, suddenly resigned from the Cabinet on Monday, December 16. Since then, there have been more calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not only from opposition parties, but from within his own caucus.
In an indication of just how bad it’s going for Trudeau, his own MP’s are throwing him under the bus, in a desperate attempt to save their defunct party. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre wrote:
I’m no defender of Trudeau but this letter is a weasel move.
No admission that they are just as responsible as he is for breaking the country. All the Liberal MPs & leadership contenders helped Trudeau double the debt, double housing costs, double gun crime and double food bank… https://t.co/4xdV9rRaqU

Below is my interview with Frank Gaffney which took place on December 17, less than a day after Chrystia Freeland’s resignation.
We discussed the unique role that Donald Trump played, as reflected in the Telegraph’s headline: Donald Trump may just have toppled Justin Trudeau’s government. Also addressed was what to expect early in the new year. Much has unfolded since December 17, but key points include the fact that New Democrat Party leader Jagmeet Singh (Trudeau’s former prop-up man) has indeed confirmed that he will support a no-confidence motion, which is expected to be tabled once parliament resumes at the end of January — that is, if Trudeau doesn’t decide to prorogue parliament so as to avoid it.

Trudeau’s Liberals have reached an all-time historic low in a “New Year’s Eve nightmare” according to an Angus Reid poll, with just 16% of Canadians expressing any intention to vote Liberal in the next election.
Some background on the unraveling of Trudeau:
- Canada: Trudeau threatens that Ottawa would ‘retaliate’ in event of 25% U.S. tariff
- Trudeau Tells Trump Canada Wouldn’t Survive His Tariff, and Trump’s Response Is Priceless
- Canada: Trudeau now trying to silence his own Liberal MP’s
- Canada: NDP leader Jagmeet Singh rips up Liberal-NDP pact to prop up Trudeau until election 2025

I watched a Daniel Bordman interview a few weeks ago, where he said that Trudeau would remain prime minister until May, since the NDP leaders wanted to hit the threshold where they’d be entitled to MP pensions. If they pulled the plug on him now, then their pensions wouldn’t materialize
One thing that can result from Trudeau’s worsening relations w/ India: either he or his successor can end all Indian immigration to Canada. That would include the Sikhs, who form the Khalistani advocacy groups in Canada and the US

࿗Infidel࿘,
Pensions: the golden handcuffs.
Craig Austin says
Millions of our neighbors will vote for Justin, some never learn. Repeating the same thing and expecting different results.
J West says
Most of the folks I know become severely nauseated at sight of his big nose on his arrogant face and the sound of his breathy anxious voice … Justin Trudeau is more of a virus than a PM.

Canadian here. First off, Jagmeet Singh, the NDP leader will not be guaranteed a pension until after February 25, 2025 so he, and the NDP will continue to prop up the government until at least that point, Second, the official election call is in November, 2025, a drop dead date for the government and it was moved to one day later to allow 20 some other politicians to qualify for their respective pensions (see a pattern here?). So there will need to be a budget between February and November, likely around March 31, because the government will run out of money officially at that point. The conservatives will table a non-confidence vote, but if the NDP supports the budget, then nothing will change. OR, and this is the discussion of the moment, Trudeau could prorogue Parliament until the next election date, effectively cancelling all current legislation and going on holidays. So there are a lot of moving parts to this discussion.
