Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation as Liberal party leader as early as Monday, according to reports. The decision comes amid mounting pressure from MPs in his caucus and declining public opinion polls.
OTTAWA — Monday could mark a historic week in Canadian politics if the growing chorus calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gets its way.
On Dec. 29, a letter from the Atlantic Liberal caucus calling on Trudeau to resign as party leader was shared publicly by New Brunswick MP Wayne Long, who has been saying since the fall that Trudeau should step down.On Sunday, back in Ottawa after a vacation over the holidays in British Columbia, Trudeau suggested he’s sticking to business-as-usual.
In the letter, posted online by CBC News, Shanahan said that given the short notice for the meeting, MPs will be allowed to attend virtually, but are “expected to be alone in a closed confidential space, face visible at all times on screen.” He said the decision would be up to the administrative board of the party but “practically speaking, the board would certainly strongly consider a recommendation coming from caucus.”
“I'm not envious of the current party president or the board and having to consider these options because it is difficult,” he said.
