OTTAWA — A Liberal MP who is not seeking re-election has sent an email to fellow caucus members calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader.
Tension among some members of the caucus has increased since the Liberals lost the stronghold seat of Toronto—St. Paul’s to the Conservatives by about 600 votes on Monday.
"For the future of our party and for the good of our country we need new leadership and a new direction. The voters have spoken loud and clear they want change. I agree."A few Liberal MPs have said privately that they think Trudeau should go, but a larger group that includes several cabinet members has publicly backed the prime minister.
But when Long's email was sent to the caucus, McDonald replied “well said" according to a media report by Global News. The next federal election is slated to happen by the fall of 2025, and this week Trudeau acknowledged there's a lot for he and his team to do before then. Throughout the week, Liberal MPs have communicated with each other from across the country, as they attempt to chart a path forward and get a sampling of one another's feelings about not only Trudeau but their party.
