Canadian political turmoil intensifies as former cabinet ministers and MLAs call for Prime Minister Trudeau's resignation. Concerns over a dysfunctional government and potential economic fallout from US tariffs on Canada add to the pressure.
James Moore, a former Conservative cabinet minister, told Global News that Canada is in a complete mess with a dysfunctional Parliament and a government that has lost the confidence of its own backbenchers. West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast MLA Patrick Wheeler called on Trudeau to resign on Monday, saying there is a fatigue with Justin Trudeau . Wheeler added that while many government policies are popular, people are concerned about a Pierre Poilievre government.
Former MPs from British Columbia, including Jody Wilson-Raybould, piled on the political pressure. Wilson-Raybould posted on X that the country needs a new leader with the general losing his most loyal soldiers on the eve of a tariff war. President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, leading to meetings with premiers across Canada. B.C.’s Premier David Eby stated that their focus is on looking after people in their provinces and Canadians, regardless of the political situation in Ottawa. The B.C. business community is worried about the impacts of both governing chaos and tariff threats on various sectors like mining, forestry, and natural gas
