In an unprecedented move, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has encountered substantial dissent from within his own Liberal Party. During a recent closed-basis meeting, approximately 20 members of Parliament openly urged Trudeau to resign, citing his declining popularity and the potential consequences for the party in the upcoming election. With Liberal support consistently trailing the Conservative Party in polls, fears of a significant electoral defeat are mounting as the party gears up for the elections slated for next October.

Trudeau Faces Internal Pressure to Resign Amid Dwindling Support
Liberal Party members express concerns over Justin Trudeau's leadership as polls signal a potential electoral defeat. Trudeau remains defiant, denying any intention to step down.
The intense internal scrutiny was amplified following the Liberals' unexpected losses in two special parliamentary elections that were previously anticipated to be secure strongholds. During a three-hour caucus meeting, a letter signed by about two dozen party members was presented, urging Trudeau to step aside to preserve the party’s chances at retention. The situation marks a critical moment for Trudeau, who has firmly stated his commitment to stay in office despite waning support among party officials.
