Justin Trudeau's future as the Canadian prime minister is looking increasingly shaky
Business InsiderSEP 2024
Wednesday was a good day for Canada but a bad day for the Conservative Party. Trudeau's minority government defeated a motion of no -confidence in the House of Commons. If the motion had passed, it would have caused chaos in the country, forcing the government to resign and triggering an immediate election campaign. That would not have been a responsible thing to do at this time.
Many Canadians are holding Trudeau personally responsible for the rising inflation and high cost of living, as they should. Trudeau's popularity has been declining for years, as a majority believe Conservative leader Poilievre has the best plan when it comes to crucial issues such as housing, health care, and the economy. It's time for Trudeau to do what's best for the country — step down.
There is an 85% chance Pierre Poilievre will become prime minister of Canada before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
