Canada’s Trudeau reshuffles his Cabinet as resignation calls mount and discontent rises
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s chances of staying in power have become more tenuous after the opposition party that backed his government for years announced it will vote no confidence in the government when Parliament resumes. Because Trudeau’s Liberals don’t hold an outright majority in the Parliament, they have for years depended on the support of the leftist New Democratic Party to pass legislation and stay in power. The Liberals could delay Parliament’s return if Trudeau decides to not run in the next year’s election and allows for a party leadership race. New Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Thursday that Trudeau has the “full support of his Cabinet” but acknowledged a rising number of Liberal Members of Parliament want Trudeau to leave.
