What makes you think she DIDN'T say she would resign if he did it??

Maybe you’re right, I had thought she announced it herself, but reading back Trudeau did.

I was definitely wrong there.

Totally possible she said she’d leave after the update, but I’m still confused on Trudeau asking her to resign on Friday.

It looks like Trudeau wasn't asking her to resign - he was looking to shuffle her out of the role and into a different cabinet post. Which isn't exactly a vote of confidence.

Again thank you for correcting me, I misread that.

If she wanted it to look like a principled choice, she should have done it before it was officially announced (and a done deal in private) or just after it was announced. Waiting until it's in place and public opinion is clear gives the appearance of yet another politician checking which way the political wind is blowing before making a move.

I could see her using this as pressure and a lead up to Trudeau stepping down so she can throw her hat in the ring with a little extra political capital and distance from the ruling cabinet.
