Justin Trudeau?s rise to power seemed charmed. Now he faces a fight for his political life.

Foreign Policy asked whether Canada’s “golden boy” has lost his shine.The scope of the scandal is such that many Canadians are wondering if he will hold on to his majority government the upcoming election.Whatever happens, Trudeau’s rock star status seems like a thing of the past.“The problem is that this particular scandal goes to his carefully crafted image,” said Christopher Sands, director of the Center for Canadian Studies at Johns Hopkins University in Washington.The crisis shaking Ottawa started as a legal matter but has devolved, over weeks, into a political scandal that touches on a number of hot-button Canadian issues, from the status of Quebec to corporate influence, to indigenous and women’s rights. Trudeau responded to the Globe and Mail report by stating that his team did not “direct” Wilson-Raybould’s decision.On Feb. 12, Wilson-Raybould resigned from her post as minister of veteran affairs, hiring a high-profile lawyer, but saying little else.In the political furor that followed, Trudeau’s most powerful aid, Gerald Butts, resigned, saying he did not want accusations against the government to “take one moment away from the vital work the Prime Minister and his office is doing for all Canadians.”Last week Wilson-Raybould testified that 11 members of Trudeau’s team pressured her, with some resorting to “veiled threats,” to get her to cut a deal.On Monday, another senior, female member of Trudeau’s team, Jane Philpott, resigned from the cabinet, citing the leader’s handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair.
