              Trudeau In Peril After Spat Over Trump Threat Sparks Crisis - Ottawa

              Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivers remarks during a National Caucus holiday event in Ottawa, ON, Canada on Tuesday, December 17, 2024. Trudeau's future looks uncertain following the sudden resignation of his most senior cabinet member, a once close ally. Chrystia Freeland, the former deputy prime minister and finance minister, quit her posts on Monday over the threat of tariffs on Canadian goods from incoming US President Donald Trump, tariffs that economists say could deal Canada a devastating economic blow. Questions are now being asked on Parliament Hill, including by some members of his own Liberal Party, about whether he is able to lead at this critical juncture.
