The head of a Canadian political party that has been keeping Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power says he will vote in favor of a motion of no-confidence, effectively assuring the Liberals will be removed from power early next year.

The ruling Liberals face obliteration in the next election after more than nine years in office amid voter fatigue as well as anger over high prices and a housing crisis.

The pressure comes after a turbulent week for Trudeau, including the resignation of  Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland over spending disagreements and a declaration by opposition parties to unite and bring down his minority government.

More and more Liberal MPs in Canada are calling for a leadership change before elections in October 2025. This comes as PM Justin Trudeau faces a leadership crisis in Canada, cornered by the Conservatives and now his own party members.
