Trudeau under fire: Liberals call for leadership change
Ontario MP Chandra Arya, a long time ally of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is calling for his resignation.
Arya told CBC News that a leadership change is vital.
It is being reported that over 50 MPs in the Ontario Liberal caucus are reaching a consensus that Trudeau must step aside.
Quebec MP Anthony Housefather also echoed these sentiments, warning that Trudeau’s leadership has become a liability for the party.
Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland’s recent departure from cabinet has fueled speculation about potential successors, with Arya suggesting Freeland as a strong candidate.
Meanwhile, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has vowed to bring a non-confidence motion against the government.
Trudeau remains out of sight, as cabinet members pledge to continue their work for Canadians amid growing uncertainty.
