  • Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tapped his top fixer in cabinet, Dominic LeBlanc, to replace Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland after she suddenly tendered her resignation from cabinet Monday morning in a fight over the nation's finances.

The article from MSN discusses comments made by Jagmeet Singh, the leader of Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP), who suggested that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should resign. Singh's remarks come in the context of recent political challenges faced by Trudeau, including public discontent over various issues like housing affordability, inflation, and the handling of the carbon tax. Singh criticized Trudeau's leadership, pointing out that after eight years in power, Trudeau has not managed to address key issues effectively, leading to a decline in public trust. He argued that a change in leadership could provide a fresh perspective and potentially restore faith in the government. This call for resignation reflects the ongoing political tension and the NDP's strategy to position itself as a viable alternative to the ruling Liberal Party.
