Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government faces renewed instability following the withdrawal of support from the New Democratic Party (NDP). NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced the end of the coalition, effectively pushing Canada closer to early elections.

Opinion polls show Trudeau's Liberal Party significantly trailing behind the Conservative opposition, with growing voter discontent over issues like high prices and a housing shortage. Trudeau's setbacks were compounded by the resignation of his election campaign chief, Jeremy Broadhurst, who cited family reasons for his departure.

Tensions have risen as the Conservatives plan to leverage no-confidence votes to destabilize the government further. Although NDP's Singh has been non-committal about toppling Trudeau, the Liberals' grip on power appears increasingly uncertain.
