Trudeau Announces Cabinet Reshuffle Amid Ongoing Pressure to Step Down as Prime Minister

ai generated text

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reshuffled his cabinet in response to political unrest and tensions with the incoming US President Donald Trump. The reshuffle marks the first open dissent against Trudeau from within his cabinet, following the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland due to a disagreement over Trump's threats to impose tariffs on Canadian imports. Eight Liberal MPs were added to the front bench, while four ministers were reassigned.

    1. We can't answer that question on behalf of folks that have already made comments. We are here today. We are a united front.
  2. CA
    Chrystia Freeland
    Liberal Party
    1. The incoming administration in the United States is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs. We need to take that threat extremely seriously.

    1. Politics is about choices. Very often, those are difficult choices. I think the prime minister was quite clear that he has a choice that he's reflecting on.

    Anthony Housefather
    Liberal Party
    1. The prime minister needs to go. We're in an impossible situation if he stays.

    1. There is no alternative but to have the leadership change now.
    2. A majority of the caucus thinks it is time for the prime minister to step aside.

    Justin Trudeau
    Liberal Party
    1. We just had an excellent cabinet meeting that was almost entirely focused on the Canada-U.S. dynamic. We know how important it is for Canadians that we be there to protect not just the Canadian economy, but their jobs, the cost of living challenges they are facing.
    2. Together, we will keep building a strong future for the middle class, and for all Canadians.
    3. We have a lot of work to do, and that's what we're focused on.
  7. CA
    Jagmeet Singh
    New Democratic Party
    1. No matter who is leading the Liberal Party, this government's time is up. We will put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons.
    2. Justin Trudeau failed in the biggest job a Prime Minister has: to work for people, not the powerful. To focus on Canadians, not themselves.
  8. CA
    Éric Grenier
    1. It's the last straw … This is the event that forces Trudeau to recognize his options are pretty limited at this stage.
    2. For the government, preparing for [a spring election], begins by finding a new leader [for the Liberal party].
