Trudeau finished

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is finished – either this week, or at the election.

Any tiny chance of victory has disappeared with the dramatic resignation of not just any Cabinet Minister, but his Deputy PM and Finance Minister. And she did it a few hours before the release of a major economic statement.

Trudeau’s GST holiday has backfired, with her implicitly calling it a costly political gimmick.

Trudeau will go one one of four ways:

1. He resigns, as some have reported he is considering
2. The Liberal Party caucus roll him
3. The NDP, who have called for him to resign, vote no confidence in the Government
4. He limps on to the election in October, with current projections being they would retain only 47 of their 160 seats
