Trudeau Faces Pressure to Resign Amidst Party Dissent
Liberal Party members express concerns over Justin Trudeau's leadership, fearing potential electoral defeat.
On October 23, 2024, during a crucial gathering of approximately 153 Liberal MPs in Ottawa, concerns about Trudeau's leadership were voiced amid declining poll numbers. The party has consistently lagged behind the Conservative Party over the past year, suggesting a bleak future for the Liberals in the upcoming election set for next October. The unease was exacerbated after recent losses in special elections that were once party strongholds.
During the meeting, a letter signed by around 20 party members was presented, urging Trudeau to resign. Although the letter had been circulating in secrecy for days, it was formally brought to light and read aloud, resulting in significant criticism of Trudeau's leadership over the course of a three-hour meeting. The mood reflected a growing desire for change within a party that fears for its survival in the upcoming electoral battle.
