7 reasons due to which he is surrounded in his own party
The problems of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who gives statements against India every day, are increasing day by day. Criticism against him is increasing in Canada, due to which his political position is getting weakened. Trudeau was thinking that by supporting Khalistan and going against India, he can once again come to power. But his dream seems to be going down the drain.
7 reasons are being understood as the danger to Trudeau’s chair. Elections are to be held in Canada next year and this time is challenging for Trudeau. His popularity is decreasing, he is being opposed in his own party. Donald Trump has created more problems for the people of Canada, who are already struggling with inflation and unemployment, by increasing tariffs.
Lack of popularity and love for Khalistan
The biggest reason for weakening in Canadian politics is the decreasing popularity of Justin Trudeau. Trudeau has been at the center of controversies in Canada for the last few years, many of his administrative decisions have had a bad effect on the public. During his tenure as Prime Minister, Canada’s economy and social policy are going through a bad phase, which has become the reason for negative reaction among the public.
On the other hand, his support to Khalistan supporters has also become a reason for his criticism. India has already been protesting Trudeau’s support to Khalistanis. Now the protest against the Khalistan movement has increased in Canada and Trudeau is being opposed for his stance. Opposition parties and some MPs are alleging that the Prime Minister has failed to resolve this issue.
Elections next year and Trudeau surrounded within the party
Elections are to be held in Canada next year and Justin Trudeau is facing opposition within his party. Some members of his party want that Trudeau should not be made the Prime Ministerial candidate in the elections next year. Because the people of Canada seem to like the opposition leader Pierre Poilievre more than him. Apart from this, some MPs have demanded Trudeau’s resignation.
Trump also increased the trouble
Donald Trump has started tightening the screws on Canadian and Chinese companies after winning the US elections. Donald Trump has proposed imposing a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian imports, which would make it difficult for Canadian companies to compete in the US market.
