Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly planning to step down on Monday, according to various media outlets.
This anticipated resignation is expected to follow the unexpected departure of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who announced her decision earlier tonight. Should Trudeau resign, Canada would face an election nearly a year ahead of schedule, with the right-wing party, which has been in opposition for several years, gaining significant traction in recent months.
Freeland’s resignation stems from a disagreement with Trudeau regarding how to handle the Trump administration’s push for new tariffs on imports to the United States—a move that could severely impact Canada’s economy.
Recent polls in Canada suggest a likely win for the conservative party, which has a reputation for being staunchly pro-Israel. Pierre Poilievre, the opposition leader, has voiced robust support for Israel. Speaking on the potential for military action against Iran, he stated, “If Israel crushes this regime, such an act would be ‘a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.’”
Poilievre has also consistently addressed the issue of rising antisemitism in Canada, frequently highlighting its alarming increase during the ongoing conflict.
