When asked whether the NDP would push for a no-confidence vote to force Trudeau out, Singh made it clear that anything is possible. \"All tools, all options are on the table,\" he said.
Singh's call for resignation adds a new layer of uncertainty for the minority Liberal government, which has relied on NDP support to stay afloat. With Freeland's departure and public confidence in Trudeau's leadership hitting new lows, his hold on power is looking shakier than ever.
If the NDP follows through with a no-confidence motion, Canadians could be heading to the polls sooner than expected.
Either way, Canadian law states that the next federal election must take place by October 2025 at the latest, and the latest polls show Trudeau's Liberals trailing behind Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives by a whopping 21 points.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Singh called on Trudeau to step down, saying Canadians are struggling too much while the Liberals are preoccupied with “infighting” and their own internal drama.
The NDP leader highlighted issues like soaring grocery prices, unaffordable housing and the looming threat of a 25% tariff on Canadian goods when Donald Trump returns to power in the U.S.
“People cannot find a home they can afford. They can’t buy their groceries. And on top of that, we have Trump threatening tariffs at 25%,” Singh said. “Instead of focusing on these issues, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are focused on themselves. They’re fighting themselves instead of fighting for Canadians.”
“For that reason, today, I’m calling on Justin Trudeau to resign. He has to go.”

</p><p> According to <a href="https://www.zumperrentals.com/blog/rental-price-data-canada/" target="_blank">Zumper's latest Canadian Rent Report</a>, Montreal has fallen slightly on the list of most expensive cities to rent in Canada. We're now sandwiched between London, ON and Calgary, AB for one-bedroom prices.
</p><p> Although our costs still saw a small uptick on the year (while <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/montreal-how-much-buy-home" target="_blank">home prices</a> skyrocketed), Montreal's average one-bedroom rent dipped slightly from $1,750 in January to $1,710 this month, reflecting a modest decline of 2.3%. The city's drop in position was thanks to Halifax's recent price surge and Kingston's jaw-dropping climb.
</p><p> Meanwhile, Vancouver and Toronto's prices remain sky-high despite both cities recording substantial declines since last year.
</p><p> Here's the latest breakdown of the top 13 cities with the priciest one-bedroom rents in the country:
</p><h2>One-bedroom rent in Canada (Feb 2025)</h2><ol>
<li>Vancouver, BC – $2,550 (-5.6% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Burnaby, BC – $2,400 (-1.6% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Toronto, ON – $2,300 (-6.1% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Victoria, BC – $2,030 (-0.5% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Halifax, NS – $2,010 (-1.5% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Ottawa, ON – $1,990 (+2.6% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Barrie, ON – $1,960 (+10.1% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Kelowna, BC – $1,910 (-0.5% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Kitchener, ON – $1,790 (-5.8% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Oshawa, ON – $1,790 (-3.8% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Kingston, ON – $1,750 (-3.3% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Montreal, QC – $1,710 (+0.6% Y/Y)</li>
<li>London, ON – $1,710 (-0.6% Y/Y)</li>
</ol><p> On the other hand, two-bedroom units in Montreal dropped 1.3% to $2,220, which is $50 cheaper than <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/montreal-rent-increase-2025" target="_blank">last month</a>. Despite the drop, Montreal still holds 7th place for the priciest two-bedroom rents across Canada with a 2.8% increase year over year.
</p><h2>Two-bedroom rent in Canada (Feb 2025)</h2><ol>
<li>Vancouver, BC – $3,460 (-8.9% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Toronto, ON – $3,010 (-5.9% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Burnaby, BC – $3,000 (-3.5% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Victoria, BC – $2,710 (+1.5% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Halifax, NS – $2,400 (-7.7% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Ottawa, ON – $2,400 (0.0% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Kelowna, BC – $2,320 (+1.3% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Montreal, QC – $2,220 (+2.8% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Oshawa, ON – $2,160 (-1.4% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Barrie, ON – $2,130 (-2.7% Y/Y)</li>
<li>London, ON – $2,060 (-1.9% Y/Y)</li>
<li>Kingston, ON – $1,950 (-8.5% Y/Y)</li>
