One political crisis that Canada is going through is the political crisis that has affected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s administration after the NDP led by Jagmeet Singh withdrew its support for the Liberal minority government.

The spark that was boiling between Jagmeet Singh and Trudeau regarding escalating groceries prices, the leader for the NDP called off the deal signed for the partnership for 2022.

Frederick Trudeau, who assumed power in 2015, is increasingly facing with increasing pressure from the opposition of the Conservatives criticizing the government for such issues as high inflation and the housing crisis. It is a tremendously difficult situation for Trudeau whose government will depend on opposition lawmakers for passing through confidence votes in the House of Commons.

The NDP had previously signed a so-called confidence-and-supply agreement under which it promised to support Trudeau until mid-2025.
