Justin Trudeau's future as the Canadian prime minister is looking increasingly shaky
Business InsiderSEP 20 2024
24 members of Canada's ruling Liberal Party have signed a letter calling on Prime Minister (PM) Justin Trudeau to decide by Oct. 28 whether he wants to remain party leader. The members of Parliament (MPs) threatened unspecified consequences should he not follow suit.
This comes as Trueau held a closed-door Liberal Caucus meeting on Wednesday, during which a reported 50-60 MPs reportedly spoke, half of whom reportedly called on him to resign.This comes as Trudeau held a closed-door Liberal Caucus meeting on Wednesday, during which a reported 50-60 MPs spoke, half of whom reportedly called on him to resign.
153 Liberal MPs in total, suggesting the intraparty revolt is not yet widespread. Some anti-Trudeau Liberals have also said they don't think he will step down and that such a decision wouldn't make them leave the party.
When some two dozen members of Trudeau's own government call for his resignation, you know the country is tired of his leadership. Not only has he doubled both housing costs and the national debt, but he's done so while hiding behind a wall of corruption. Even liberal journalists are reporting that Liberal parliamentarians have to secretly message them out of fear of retribution. Trudeau's tyranny has destroyed Canada, and he must go.
The Liberal Party is not a monolith, and the fact that it contains differences of opinion is what makes it great. While the Conservatives seek to use this as a tool to grab power, Trudeau remains focused on protecting the social services that Canadians need, and opposition leader Poilievre wants to take away. Trudeau has led the fight for social programs for years and will continue to do so as the next election approaches.
