Liberal MPs Urge Trudeau to Resign Amid Leadership Crisis
A significant faction within the Liberal Party is pushing for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation ahead of a crucial caucus meeting.
- Liberal MP Sean Casey has publicly confirmed signing a letter asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down, citing a disconnect with voters.
- The letter, reportedly signed by up to 30 MPs, is expected to be presented at a caucus meeting, marking a serious challenge to Trudeau's leadership.
- Several cabinet ministers, including Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, continue to support Trudeau, despite acknowledging public fatigue.
- The Liberal Party lacks a formal mechanism to force Trudeau out, leaving the decision to resign solely up to him.
- This internal party unrest coincides with broader parliamentary challenges, including debates over federal spending and allegations of foreign interference by India.
