Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Justin Trudeau Faces Deepening Political Turmoil After Finance Minister Quits 

HeadlineDec 17, 2024

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing growing calls to step down after his finance minister quit amid a public spat over how to respond to Trump’s vow to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods. Chrystia Freeland, who was also Canada’s deputy prime minister, has been replaced by longtime Trudeau ally, public safety minister Dominic LeBlanc, who recently joined Trudeau to dine with Trump at Mar-a-Lago — a meeting that notably did not include Freeland.
