Chrystia Freeland, the Finance Minister and long Trudeau’s key deputy/dauphin, proactively resigned from the government in a very public, ugly fashion in which she burned her bridges with Justin and effectively accused him of lying to the public and Liberal Party about the state of the country’s economy and finances. Reading between the lines, she may have anticipated getting hurled under the bus. Immigration Minister and once-rising Star Sean Fraser exited Cabinet around the same time, too, and Trudeau’s response was essentially to reshuffle with his inner circle of yes-men like LeBlanc (his childhood best friend and Liberal royalty) becoming new key ministers
Also, as far as I’ve understood Trudeau’s never been the best at maintaining relations with unions even though he makes claims he stands on their side.
I haven't been following Canadian politics; what happened in the last 40 days?

Suffice to say it did not go well
