New Delhi: Tech billionaire Elon Musk predicted the downfall of Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the upcoming election, scheduled to take place on or before October 20, 2025. "He will be gone in the upcoming election," Musk wote on X, the social media platform he owns, while reacting to a post that said Germany's "socialist government" had collapsed.Trudeau, who heads the Liberal Party, is currently running a minority government in Canada. In the upcoming elections, Trudeau primarily faces a three-way contest from the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, and the New Democratic Party, led by Jagmeet Singh. The Bloc Quebecois and the Green Party will also be vying for seats.Notably, Musk called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz a "fool" after the collapse of his three-party coalition. In a post in German on X, Musk wrote: "Olaf ist ein Narr (Olaf is a fool)." A user replied to his post: "Elon Musk we need your help in Canada getting rid of Trudeau".Olaf Scholz fired his finance minister on Friday, leaving the government teetering on the brink of collapse.In a televised address, Scholz said the decision to sack Finance Minister Christian Lindner "was necessary to prevent harm to our country." The firing came after days of political negotiation between the key members of Germany's ruling "traffic light" coalition government - Scholz of the Social Democratic Party, Lindner of the Free Democratic Party, and Robert Habeck of the Green Party, news agency ANI reported.Meanwhile, Canadaian politics has started witnessing the ripple effects of an incoming Trump administration. Trudeau has come under fire from Peoples Party of Canada Chief Maxime Bernier for his continued support of unchecked immigration."With the election of a Republican administration south of the border, Canada needs to cut government spending, cut taxes, cut excessive red tape, get rid of its costly and inefficient climate policy, abolish all its insane DEI programs, stop mass immigration, and create a business climate where workers, entrepreneurs and investors can thrive. Or else we will be hopelessly outcompeted by the US, suffer a major brain drain and loss of investments, and our standard of living will drop like a rock," Bernier said.The pressure on Trudeau continues to build, especially with his opponents projected to win the 2025 elections.The Trudeau administration has also been blamed for the deterioration of diplomatic ties with India. India has repeatedly expressed deep concern about extremism and the culture of violence and anti-India activities in Canada and has asked Canadian authorities to take action against these activities. The ties between India and Canada took a sharp downturn following Canadian leaders making allegations without providing evidence regarding the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
