Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing intense pressure to resign from within his Liberal Party following the unexpected resignation of finance minister Chrystia Freeland. This follows criticism of Trudeau's economic management as Canada confronts potential tariffs from incoming U.S. President Donald Trump. Over recent years, Trudeau's popularity has declined sharply amid rising inflation, leading to speculation about a possible 'no confidence' vote in Parliament, which could precipitate an early election. If Trudeau were to resign, a successor could emerge from within the party, with figures like Mark Carney and Dominic LeBlanc being potential candidates.
