Dissatisfied Liberal MPs plan to ask PM Trudeau to step aside at next caucus meeting
SUMMARY
Liberal MPs are organizing to formally request Prime Minister Justin Trudeau step down as leader at their upcoming caucus meeting, citing dissatisfaction over recent byelection losses and handling of party strategy. Multiple sources revealed plans for a direct plea to Trudeau next Wednesday, emphasizing the need for private discussions. Concerns have mounted after significant byelection defeats in traditionally Liberal strongholds, with MPs expressing frustration over unmet promises for strategic responses from the Prime Minister's Office. While some MPs have endorsed the call for leadership change, many others acknowledge the existence of such a letter without confirming their signatures. Trudeau, addressing speculation of internal dissent, urged focus on national issues amidst heightened parliamentary tensions.
