Justin Trudeau Faces Mounting Pressure from Liberal MPs to Step Down as Prime Minister

ai generated text

Justin Trudeau has denied plans to leave the Liberal Party, despite intense pressure from within his caucus to resign. A closed-door meeting with lawmakers on Wednesday saw 20 MPs call for his departure, and two dozen sign a letter urging him to make a decision by October 28. However, Trudeau maintains that the party is "strong and united", contradicting concerns about his leadership. This comes as polls show the Liberals trailing the Conservative Party by double digits, and two recent special parliamentary elections were lost.

    1. Will the prime minister text those dissident Liberal MPs, tell them to come out of the bathroom, and tell the whole world that he's not worth the cost?

    1. I'm looking forward to expressing my views. I don't think it's any secret to anybody what my views are, that we do need a change in leadership.

    1. I think that we are united behind our leader.

    1. I'm absolutely certain in my conviction that the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is the right person to lead us.

    1. Any minute spent on this garbage is a minute that's not spent on Pierre Poilievre and what he wants to do to this country.
    2. This isn't a code red situation. The prime minister can sure as hell handle the truth.

    1. I think if ultimately we throw everything at the wall and he's getting tuned out, that's a different story. I don't think we're there yet.
    2. I think there's absolutely a path forward where the prime minister can turn things around.
    3. The prime minister has to listen to the frustrations – in some cases, very valid frustrations of caucus colleagues – and incorporate that into changes moving forward.
    4. I think it's really important when you have so many colleagues that are expressing frustration, and I've expressed frustration over the years at different times, it's very important that that feedback is listened to.
