There was a theme to the Prime Minister’s answers, but nothing at all about the question of his own future as party leader
Justin Trudeau looked like a million bucks in a white shirt and a bright blue blazer as he made a funding announcement in his own Montreal riding in his usual energetic style.The reporters’ queries were almost all about the prickly concerns about his leadership coming from inside his own party. Some were so basic that it’s pretty startling that a sitting prime minister can’t answer them.
Are there members of his team that have asked him to go? Mr. Trudeau said he has had frank conversations but Liberals are focused on delivering.“There is a challenge faced by democracies all around the world right now,” Mr. Trudeau said. He pointed to the rise of the far right in France, “the election in the United States,” widespread anxieties and what he called “an erosion of democratic principles and rights.
Mr. Biden’s halting performance in his debate with Mr. Trump and the Liberals by-election loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s have been shocks with similar effects. They have shaken some members of their own parties into feeling they can’t be trapped with a leader who they think is doomed to defeat.
