  • Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose party looks set to lose power early next year, is under increasing pressure from his own legislators to step down.

The article discusses the mounting pressure on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, stemming from both his own Liberal Party members and public opinion. Recent polls indicate a significant drop in support for Trudeau, with the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, gaining ground. Key issues contributing to this pressure include economic challenges like inflation and housing affordability, as well as public discontent over policies like the carbon tax. Several Liberal MPs have reportedly expressed their concerns privately, urging Trudeau to consider stepping down to potentially salvage the party's chances in the upcoming election. Despite this, Trudeau has publicly stated his intention to lead the Liberals into the next election, although he has not ruled out the possibility of resigning in the future. The article also touches on Trudeau's legacy, mentioning his handling of the early stages of the global health crisis and his push for progressive policies, juxtaposed against the current political climate where his leadership is increasingly questioned.
