Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has come under heavy scrutiny in recent years, and he may not be Canada’s top political figure for much longer.

The next Canadian election is scheduled for October 2025, but it could happen sooner as confidence in Prime Minister Trudeau continues to decline. If an early election is called, Canada may see a new leader sooner than expected. Alternatively, Trudeau could resign before then, paving the way for someone else to step into his role.

Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has put hypothetical betting odds on who could be Canada’s next Prime Minister in 2026.

Quick Analysis

Conservative Pierre Poilievre is the odds-on favorite to be the next Canadian prime Minister in 2026. He has received plenty of support in recent years as many Canadians want a change.

With Trudeau resigning from his top post a possibility, Liberal MPs Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney could take his spot if he steps down and the Liberals remain atop the Government.

Of course, you cannot discount Trudeau's wanting to remain in office, and even though he has not fared well in recent years, there is a chance he could be voted back into office again.

There is also NDP Jagmeet Singh becoming Canada’s top leader or Yves-François Blanchet of the Bloc Québécois if Canadians are hoping for a completely different voice at the top.
