Liberal MPs to Convene for Key Meeting on Trudeau’s Leadership Future

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces mounting calls to resign, with over half of his party's MPs reportedly seeking a leadership change.

A special Liberal Party caucus meeting is scheduled for January 8 to address growing internal demands for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down.
More than half of the party's 153 MPs, including regional caucuses from Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada, have called for Trudeau's resignation.
The resignation of Chrystia Freeland as deputy prime minister and finance minister in December has intensified leadership concerns within the party.
Potential scenarios include Trudeau staying on temporarily during a leadership race or stepping aside for an interim leader, as discussions about his future continue.
Recent polling suggests the Liberal Party would perform better under a new leader, with Chrystia Freeland emerging as the most favorable replacement among potential candidates.
