Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been leading his country down the path of globalism for nearly a decade, but now he is facing opposition from an unexpected source. Dozens of Liberal MPs have signed a petition calling for him to resign as party leader, sources said, and it appears they intend to confront him at Wednesday's caucus.
Some members of Trudeau's caucus are concerned about Trudeau's response (or lack thereof) to his defeat in the summer's by-election, particularly his loss of seats in the Toronto-St. Paul constituency, a Liberal stronghold. seems to be dissatisfied with it. Additionally, the Liberal Party lost key elections in Winnipeg and Montreal, and four ministers recently announced they would not stand for re-election. Trudeau then avoided House of Commons Question Period the week before the October holiday week and instead visited Laos.
“The message I've been getting loud and clear is that it's time for (Prime Minister Trudeau) to step down,” Prince Edward Island Liberal MP Sean Casey told CBC last week. . “And I agree.”
“People have had enough. They are ignoring him and want him to go away,” Casey added.
“Election interference”
So far, Prime Minister Trudeau has vowed to remain in office, speaking on behalf of the Conservative Party over allegations of Chinese election interference and India, which prompted New Delhi to resign and expel several diplomats. It focuses on international disputes between India and Canada, including possible crimes committed by diplomats. six Canadian diplomats;
Regarding election interference, Trudeau accused several anonymous Conservative Party members of misdeeds with Communist China.
“I know the names of a number of Conservative Party of Canada MPs, former MPs and candidates who are involved in, at high risk of, or have clear information about foreign interference.” said the Prime Minister. Public inquiry into foreign interference. Some saw the accusations as a way to distract the public from problems with Trudeau's party.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poièvre accused Trudeau of “lying” and demanded that the prime minister release the names of the Conservative party's alleged villains.
“My message to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is to release the names of all MPs who cooperated with foreign interference,” Poilievre wrote. “But he won't, because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is doing what he always does: He's lying.”
Trudeau ultimately acknowledged that members of other parties, including his own, were also vulnerable to foreign interference, but he only singled out Conservative MPs.
50 members of the Diet
Trudeau's allies downplayed other Liberal MPs' inconvenience to the prime minister, saying: I am absolutely confident that the vast majority of caucus members support the prime minister,” Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said at a news conference in Winnipeg.
While Mr. Freeland assured the press and anyone else who would listen that Mr. Trudeau's popularity in the caucus remained strong, the Post Millennial reported that “probably as many as 50” Liberal MPs agreed with Mr. Trudeau. They reported that they were prepared to confront the party and insist that the party leader resign. If that's true, there are 153 Liberal members in Canada's parliament, and nearly a third of them want him out. No wonder Prime Minister Trudeau wants to change the subject.
