Canadian party leaders are calling for Trudeau's resignation after Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland unexpectedly announced her resignation from the Cabinet in a shocking message she posted on social media this morning.

This announcement came on a day when she was scheduled to present the fall economic statement, a vital document outlining the government's economic priorities.

In her message, Freeland indicated that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked her on Friday to step down from her role as Finance Minister and accept another position in the government. However, after deep reflection, she decided that “the only honest and viable way” was to resign.

Reactions:

• Conservative opposition: Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre described the government as having “completely lost control,” urging Canadians to vote against the Liberals in an election focused on carbon taxes.

• New Democratic Party: Party leader Jagmeet Singh accused the Liberals of being preoccupied with their internal disputes instead of focusing on the everyday issues facing Canadians.

• Political analysts: Analysts described Freeland's resignation as a political disaster for Trudeau's government, with some considering it a direct challenge to his leadership.

As the crisis escalates, sources report that Trudeau is considering options that include his resignation or suspending Parliament. Amid this chaos, the question remains: Can Trudeau's government withstand this political storm?
