Is prorogation coming? What 2025 could look like for the Liberal government (www.cbc.ca)

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is said to be reflecting on his future over the holidays after the resignation of his top cabinet minister, Chrystia Freeland, in mid-December. The bombshell move prompted a fresh wave of calls for Trudeau to step down as Liberal leader from inside and outside the caucus.

With MPs set to return to the House of Commons on Jan. 27, the Liberal grip on power appears tenuous. The NDP, which has been a steady ally of the minority government since the 2021 election, is no longer planning to support the Liberals.

Regardless of whether Trudeau resigns as Liberal leader, the government could seek prorogation to end all House of Commons business.

I’d be happy to see parliament prorogued for no other reason than seeing conservative tears and whining peak.

It won’t save the liberal government but having an election right now while American idiot is flexing is an incredibly bad choice.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll all forget when Harper did it, or will say he had better reasons.

I have to wonder, after all that's happened, if he hasn't resigned by now, or even shown any signs that he is chastened at all, what could give us cause to expect that he would ever choose to resign?

And so, for Trudeau, what would even be the point of prorogation? If it didn't happen on the day of the Chrystiapocalypse, why now, or ever?

What reason do we have to believe that Trudeau won't simply strut into the next election, full of self confidence?
