It was a poltical stink bomb like no other when Chrystia Freeland abrubtly resigned as Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. It sent shock waves that cross all party lines.
For all the breathlees surprise, Justin Trudeau should have seen it coming! He fired Freeland mere days before she was scheduled to deliver the Fall Economic Statement. To make matters worse, he still expected her to table the FES in the Commons.
The whole affair not only called Trudeau's leadership into question it also highlighted Jagmeet Singh's spinelessness as the NDP leader. On Monday, he called for Trudeau to step down. On Wednesday he told CTV's Anne Marie Mediwake it wasn't the right to time commit to voting non-confidence against the minority Liberals. Tow days later, (when nothing has changed), Singh says his party will vote to bring down Trudeau's government at the earliest opportunity.
Meanwhile, Trudeau has shuffled his cabinet and, all indciations are, he's not ready to step down.
