Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership came under fire during a recent private meeting of the Liberal Party, where around twenty members called for his resignation amid concerns that his ongoing unpopularity could jeopardize their upcoming electoral prospects. The Liberal Party has been trailing the Conservative Party by substantial margins in recent polls, leading to rising anxiety within the ranks. With elections looming by next October, the urgency escalated after the party suffered losses in two parliamentary districts once deemed secure strongholds.
During the three-hour caucus meeting held in Ottawa, a letter signed by approximately two dozen party members urging Trudeau to step aside was presented, signaling deepening discontent. This letter had remained confidential until recently, amplifying the atmosphere of discontent toward Trudeau’s leadership. Those who expressed their concerns during the meeting highlighted the dire situation and the need for the party to reevaluate its direction ahead of critical elections.
While Trudeau has publicly asserted he does not intend to resign, the growing dissatisfaction from his party members suggests that the next few months could be pivotal in determining not only his leadership but also the future political landscape of Canada.
