Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's political future looks increasingly uncertain as the New Democratic Party (NDP) has withdrawn its automatic support for his Liberal minority government. This move is the latest in a series of setbacks that have eroded Trudeau's popularity.

According to recent polls, the Liberals could face a crushing defeat by the opposition Conservatives in an election that is currently scheduled for October 2025. The NDP's withdrawal could bring forward an election to much sooner than anticipated.

A timeline of events outlines Trudeau's career, from his rise to Liberal Party leader in 2013, his majority win in 2015, to a series of damaging scandals and a decline in public support leading to today's precarious position.
