Trudeau reshuffles his Cabinet amid calls for his resignation and internal party dissent.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to reshuffle his Cabinet on Friday, replacing ministers who are not seeking re-election and filling gaps left by resignations, including that of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. This reshuffle comes amid growing calls for Trudeau's resignation due to declining popularity and internal dissent within his Liberal Party. Despite the pressure, new Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc stated Trudeau has the "full support of his Cabinet." The move aims to stabilize the government ahead of the next election, expected in 2025, though it comes just a month before the U.S. presidential inauguration, leaving new ministers with little time to adapt.
