Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly considering resigning or proroguing Parliament, according to sources cited by CTV News. The potential resignation follows the departure of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who resigned from the cabinet earlier today over disagreements on handling tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trudeau has conveyed to his cabinet that he is weighing his options and may address Parliament later this afternoon. Meanwhile, Liberal Members of Parliament are publicly urging Trudeau to resign, with some appearing on CBC to voice their demands.
