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."</p><p>"For that reason, today, I'm calling on Justin Trudeau to resign.

"All tools, all options are on the table," he said.</p><p>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.</p><p>If the NDP follows through with a no-confidence motion, Canadians could be heading to the polls sooner than expected.</p><p>Either way, Canadian law states that the next federal election must take place by October 2025 at the latest, and the <a href="https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest polls</a> show Trudeau's Liberals trailing behind Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives by a whopping 21 points.</p><p><em>This article was originally published on <a href="https://www.narcity.com/jagmeet-singh-calls-for-justin-trudeau-resignation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Narcity</a>.</em><br/></p>
