A few weeks ago, there was a byelection in a Toronto district called St Paul's because an MP resigned. Liberals held that seat since 1993. They lost the election. Since that loss, the cabinet's and Trudeau's leadership have been called into question:
9 MPs publicly stated that they want Trudeau to resign. Unlike in the US and other democracies, party discipline is very strict in Canada. If an MP speaks out against his leader, or votes out of line on a bill, he'll likely get fired.
There were rumours that Trudeau wanted to replace the Deputy PM because of her shitty communication in Parliament, and during the byelection's campaign. Imagine a white woman who has the same intelligence and condescending tone as Kamala Harris.
The Deputy PM is Canada's equivalent of Vice President. The prime minister can appoint anyone to that job whenever he wants.
Her name is Chrystia Freeland. She is also the finance minister. She's a total dumbass regarding finances. She's so dumb that:
She can't translate numbers into words. EG, she'd say something like "one thousand million, one ten hundred"
She tried to frame a budget as fighting inflation. So she basically argued that spending money can defeat inflation.
During the campaign for the Toronto byelection, she heavily implied that all Conservative voters are "small" and "cruel" for not wanting the Liberals' new welfare-state programs.
During multiple Parliament debates about those programs, she always resorts to the same argument: her opponents are big meanies for opposing the programs.
