Trudeau's key ally says he will vote to topple him

Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP), says he will introduce a motion to topple Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government in the new year.

It marks a turn for the NDP leader, whose centre-left party helped prop up Trudeau's minority government in exchange for support on their shared political priorities.

He is the last of Canada's three main opposition parties to turn on Trudeau, meaning the prime minister is now unlikely to survive a non-confidence vote.

Singh's announcement comes at the end of a difficult week for Trudeau, who is facing growing calls to resign from his own Liberal Party following the exit of his most senior cabinet minister on Monday.

In a letter posted on X, Singh said, "the Liberals don't deserve another chance," and vowed to "put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons."

Canada's next election must be held on or before October. With the Liberals holding power with a minority government, a non-confidence motion could trigger an earlier election if most members of Canada's parliament vote in favour of it.

The House of Commons is currently on its holiday break but is scheduled to resume in late January.

Not for a while. Parliament isn’t due to reconvene until after Trump is due to be sworn in. He may still have some tricks up his sleeve to stretch this out. Either way he has to call an election by around October next year.
