Why Justin Trudeau resigned in Canada
Calls for her to leave office had increased since last December, when Trudeau attempted to remove the finance minister and deputy prime minister. Chrystia Freelandone of his closest allies, after she opposed his proposals to increase spending. Freeland resigned, further weakening the position of the head of government.
The outgoing minister wrote a letter at the time accusing Trudeau of “political tricks” instead of focusing on what was best for the country.
Trudeau, 53, had until then been able to avoid political pressure from liberal lawmakers concerned about the polls. However, in recent weeks, at least two dozen deputies and several regional party groups, including those in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario, had called for his resignation.
Added to the crisis within the Trudeau Government was the humiliation by Trump, who referred to him as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada,” as if it were part of the United States. Trump threatened his northern neighbor with imposing 25% tariffs on all imports if he did not stop the passage of drugs and immigrants across his border, after which Trudeau urgently traveled to Mar-a-Lago, the Republican’s mansion. in Palm Beach (Florida), to try to direct the situation. The United States is the destination for three-quarters of Canadian exports.
Like other Western countries, Canada devoted an enormous amount of public spending to combating the effects of the pandemic, ballooning the deficit and debt. However, the sharp rise in prices in recent years, also a global phenomenon, eroded its popularity, hit especially by the overheating of the real estate market, under pressure from the massive arrival of immigrants. The Trudeau Government imposed restrictions on home purchases by foreigners, but that did not solve the problem.
