Toronto, December 19
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will reshuffle his cabinet on Friday. After the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, the pressure on Trudeau has not only increased, but the demand for her resignation has also started gaining momentum among the Liberals. A senior officer aware of this entire matter has confirmed the reshuffle in the cabinet. After Freeland’s resignation, although Dominic LeBlanc has taken over as the new finance minister, Liberal MPs are demanding Trudeau’s resignation. On the other hand, the threat of a 25 percent tax on all Canadian products by the President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, has increased the problems of the Trudeau government. It is notable that the leader of the opposition and the Tory leader Pierre Polivar have tried unsuccessfully to topple the Trudeau government through no-confidence motions three times so far. – Ap
