Yet while many Liberals say they are still not certain what exactly led to Morneau’s abrupt resignation on Monday, it’s clear his fall from political grace did not begin only in the past few weeks as the media spotlight on him grew hotter.
The Star reported on Aug. 8 that Trudeau was weighing a cabinet shuffle to go along with bold fall spending plans. After that, there were reports Trudeau was consulting former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney for advice on the economic relaunch, and that there had been policy disagreements between Trudeau and Morneau.
Sources say those news stories shook Morneau, who believed they were deliberate leaks by the Prime Minister’s Office that were meant to undermine him.
