Trudeau’s govt collapses. Early elections in Canada

Sharing is Caring!

(Bloomberg) — A parliamentary pact that has kept Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party in power has fallen apart, increasing the chances that an election will happen soon.

New Democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh announced he’s pulling out of a power-sharing deal he signed with Trudeau in 2022, saying the prime minister is “too weak” to stop Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre from winning the next election, which is currently scheduled for October 2025.

The Liberal-NDP agreement — which committed Singh’s elected party members to supporting the government in key parliamentary votes — had been set to expire next June.
